Jones was probably the bigger question mark, as the defensive lineman was seen in a walking boot following the Buckeyes’ win over Penn State.
In five games this year, Jones has recorded 18 tackles, 6.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks. He also recorded a pick-six against TCU. Arnette has made 17 stops and has three pass break-ups.
With Ohio State losing Nick Bosa until at least November, having Jones up front is key.
Ohio State will host Indiana this Saturday. The Buckeyes haven’t lost to the Hoosiers since 1988.
