Ohio State fans can breathe a sigh of relief. It sounds like quarterback C.J. Stroud will be the starter this weekend in Piscataway, N.J.

Day provided an injury update on Stroud on his weekly radio show on Thursday.

“I think C.J.’s had a good week of work,” Day said. “So looking forward to getting him back on the field this week.”

Ohio State goes on the road to face Rutgers this weekend.

Last weekend, C.J. Stroud did not play in the 59-7 rout of Akron due to a shoulder injury. True freshman Kyle McCord got the start for the Buckeyes and played well. McCord was 13-0f-18 for a 72.2 percent completion rate, throwing for 319 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.

Ohio State is 3-1 on the season, and its only loss is at home against No. 3 Oregon. The Buckeyes have wins over Minnesota, Tulsa and Akron.

The Buckeyes fell out of the top 10 in the Week 5 edition of the AP Top-25 poll. They are sitting right outside at No.11.
