Ohio State Buckeyes running back TreVeyon Henderson has sustained an ankle injury during practice, raising concerns about his availability for the team’s season opener against the Indiana Hoosiers. Henderson, a key figure in Ohio State’s offense, is coming off an impressive 2023 season and was expected to play a pivotal role in the Buckeyes’ 2024 campaign.
Head coach Ryan Day addressed the injury in a press conference, describing Henderson as “day-to-day” and emphasizing the team’s cautious approach. “TreVeyon is a crucial part of our offense, but his health and long-term contributions are our priority,” Day said.
Henderson’s absence, if confirmed, could significantly impact Ohio State’s offensive game plan. Sophomore Dallan Hayden and senior Miyan Williams are likely to share the load in the backfield, providing depth and experience to compensate.
Despite the setback, the Buckeyes remain confident in their ability to execute against Indiana. However, Henderson’s recovery will be closely monitored as Ohio State aims to keep its championship aspirations on track. The Hoosiers, undoubtedly aware of Henderson’s potential absence, may look to exploit the uncertainty in the Buckeyes’ rushing attack.
