Ryan Day discusses injury to Miyan Williams, outlook for OSU's RBs entering Week 12

Ryan Day is still dealing with a number of injuries to Ohio State’s running back room. Fortunately, he is optimistic for the status of multiple RBs coming out of Week 11.

Already this season, Ohio State has lost Evan Pryor to injury for the season. Chip Trayanum has made the full-time switch back to running back from linebacker, but he was ruled out for Week 11.

TreVeyon Henderson was also ruled out for Week 11, leaving Miyan Williams and true freshman Dallan Hayden as scholarship RBs available for the Buckeyes.

For much of the first half, that did not matter with Williams looking dominant against Indiana. Unfortunately, he would go down in the first half with an injury and did not return.

After the game, Day addressed Williams’ status and said he does not believe the injury will be a long-term issue. The head coach also is optimistic the team will have Henderson back for Week 12.

Ryan Day says he does not think Miyan Williams’ injury will be long-term and he hopes TreVeyon Henderson will be back next week.

Hopefully, the backfield for Ohio State is back to mostly normal next weekend. During Week 11, Xavier Johnson took advantage of his emergency usage at RB with a dramatic touchdown run.
