Ryan Day confirms the injury news that Ohio State football just didn’t need on its hands this spring
Ohio State football will have two starting offensive linemen sidelined for the remainder of the spring in a new development revealed by Ryan Day. Not the injury news the Buckeyes needed.
The Ohio State Buckeyes football team will be wrapping up spring football over the next couple of weeks with the spring game taking place on April 18.
Ohio State has dealt with quite a few small injuries this spring and when they play in the scrimmage next weekend, the Buckeyes will be without two starters along the offensive line, after both players had minor procedures.
Ryan Day’s latest injury update for the Buckeyes isn’t what anyone wanted to hear
Ohio State football will be down both of its starting offensive tackles from last season for the remainder of the spring. Left tackle Austin Siereveld and right tackle Phillip Daniels will be sidelined for the short term, but they are expected to return for summer workouts.
“Those guys had a small procedure, but they’ll be out for the rest of spring and will be back for a full summer,” Day said on Monday. “But it’s great to see both Ian (Moore) and Carter (Lowe) have to step up in a big way.”
It was Ian Moore getting the start at left tackle and Carter Lowe at right tackle during Saturday’s Student Appreciation Day. Good opportunity for the inexperienced players who could end up having to play serious snaps for Ohio State down the road.
It’s good news that both players are set to be returning for the summer, it’s an opportunity for the players stepping up. Moore is entering his third season and the extra work could prove enough to show he’s one of Ohio State’s two best offensive tackle options. Siereveld and Daniels started last season, but that doesn’t mean positions are locked in for 2026.
The extent of the injuries is unknown, as well as the exact surgeries that was performed on the offensive linemen. Ohio State doesn’t have to disclose the inflation and there’s no benefit to doing so. Both returning in a short time is good news, and it’s notable other players have an ample opportunity in front of them for increased snaps.
