Ryan Day gave an update on a few key players ahead of a tough matchup against Wisconsin on Saturday.

Upon arrival at their hotel in Madison, Day told the media that Denzel Burke and Emeka Egbuka made the trip with the team and said they should be ready to go for the game.

Burke has been out since the Purdue game after suffering an undisclosed injury in the 3rd quarter of Ohio State’s matchup with the Boilermakers. The junior cornerback has logged 8 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble this season. Having him back for the final stretch of the season will be huge for the Buckeyes.

Egbuka has missed the last 2 games for Ohio State, dealing with a leg injury. This season, he has recorded 303 yards and 3 touchdowns.

With the 2 key players back in the lineup, Ohio State should be able to handle business and keep its undefeated record unblemished. The game between the Buckeyes and the Badgers kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday night.
