Trey Sermon's Monday night in Miami didn't go as planned.
The late-rising Ohio State running back suffered an apparent upper-body injury in the first drive of the national championship game against Alabama that caused him to head to the visiting locker room and subsequently require a trip to a local hospital. However, he appears to have avoided anything major.
Sermon is "doing well" and will be traveling back to Columbus on Tuesday following the 52-24 loss, a team spokesman said that morning. His mother, Natoshia Mitchell, told the Columbus Dispatch that his injury is "not serious," though both she and the football program declined to share the specifics of it.
