That’s the bad news, the good news is that Meyer remains hopeful that Borland will not miss any action in 2018. Provided Borland’s rehab goes well, the team could get him back in the lineup for Sept. 1 opener against Oregon State.
Borland is expected to start at linebacker for the Buckeyes following an impressive debut season in 2017.
