Haskell Garrett's recovery seems to be going better than anyone expected.

Less than a month ago, the Buckeye defensive tackle suffered a gunshot wound to the face. Now, it seems like he might be able to return to the football field this year.

Meeting with the media on Tuesday evening, Ohio State defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs expressed optimism about Garrett's recovery and a possible return to the field, indicating that he seems to be progressing even better than expected.

Coombs said he intitally feared the injury could end his season or even his career, but no longer believes that will be the case.
