Schutt Has Broken Bone in Wrist
Monday, Oct. 19
Head coach Urban Meyer announced Schutt’s injury on Monday, adding that the defensive tackle will miss at least one game as he recovers, per Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports. He also noted that Schutt had surgery already, per Bill Rabinowitz of the Columbus Dispatch.
Schutt, a senior, has been a key cog in the middle of Ohio State’s line, notching 20 tackles and 1.5 sacks this season. He was particularly disruptive against Penn State on Saturday and earned champion honors for that performance, per Rabinowitz.
Schutt’s injury will put even more pressure on NFL prospect Adolphus Washington, who is likely to be a first-round pick after this season, per CBS Sports. He will now need to step up his play even more in Schutt’s absence. The Buckeyes certainly have the talent all across the line to cover up for the loss of Schutt, with the defense led by one of the best players in the country, defensive end Joey Bosa.
