Backup Ohio State linebacker Justin Hilliard announced on Instagram today that he is injured and facing a long rehabilitation.
Hilliard, a five-star recruit from Cincinnati St. Xavier, posted a picture of himself in a wheelchair with what appears to be a sling on his left arm.
“Can’t lie I’m hurt, but head up and looking forward to killin this rehab for the next 6 months,” Hilliard posted.
Hilliard redshirted last season after dealing with a knee injury, then tore his right bicep, which limited him during spring practice.
He had four tackles against Bowling Green in the season opener and is listed as having played in the game participation chart against Tulsa and Oklahoma.
