Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a shoulder injury during the Buckeyes’ victory over Indiana, coach Ryan Day said.
Injury occurred late against Indiana
Sayin was hurt on a hit in the fourth quarter after landing on his shoulder. Day confirmed the expected absence after Ohio State secured a 19-15 victory.
The timeline means Sayin is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, although no further details about the injury were provided.
What the absence means
Sayin’s injury gives Ohio State a notable quarterback availability issue during the period he is out. The team’s immediate situation follows a narrow win over Indiana, with Sayin’s status now becoming a central development for the Buckeyes.
Day’s comments establish that Sayin is not expected to return immediately. The quarterback’s recovery will determine when he can resume playing, but the coach’s initial estimate points to an absence lasting several weeks.
Outlook
For now, Ohio State has confirmed only the expected duration of Sayin’s absence. Additional information about the shoulder injury or his return was not provided.
