Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba Out, Matthew Jones Game-Time Decision Against Michigan

Miyan Williams will be available for the Buckeyes after missing last week's game with an ankle injury.

Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba are among the eight players unavailable for Saturday’s game against Michigan (12 p.m. on FOX), while fifth-year senior offensive guard Matthew Jones will be a game-time decision.

Henderson aggravated a lingering foot injury in the second quarter of last week’s win over Maryland but his absence is alleviated by the return of Miyan Williams, who missed the game against the Terrapins with an ankle injury suffered against Indiana the week prior.

Smith-Njigba continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury that has limited him to just three games this season, while Jones went down on the final offensive drive against Maryland with an apparent right leg injury and was seen on crutches after the game.

If he’s unable to play, the Buckeyes will start either redshirt junior Enokk Vimahi or redshirt sophomore Josh Fryar at right guard. Vimahi played the last four snaps against the Terrapins, while Fryar started at right tackle against the Hoosiers when Dawand Jones was unavailable.

That said, the full list of players who are unavailable for Saturday’s game against the Wolverines can be seen below:
