While Jerome Baker is expected to return to Ohio State's starting lineup at weakside linebacker against Illinois after missing this past weekend's game against Michigan State due to injury, it remains uncertain who will start at the other two linebacker positions this week.
Malik Harrison, who started in place of Dante Booker (who was also out due to injury) against Michigan State and played every snap of the game, is now listed as a co-starter with Booker at the strongside linebacker.
Tuf Borland, meanwhile, is listed as a co-starter at middle linebacker – though he already was listed as a co-starter on the depth chart – with Chris Worley after Borland filled in for Worley at middle linebacker against Michigan State, while Worley filled in for Baker at weakside linebacker.
