A lot of the talk heading into Ohio State's date with Alabama in Monday night's national championship game has centered on the health of Justin Fields and to what extend the Buckeyes may be dealing with COVID-19 issues once again impacting player availability.
Ryan Day, as you'd expect, has been tight-lipped on both topics though we do know Fields took part in yesterday's practice, for the first time this week, and that he'll wear extra padding around his midsection based on his comments to ESPN's Maria Taylor.
As for any player availability issues due to coronavirus, that won't likely be confirmed by Ohio State until two hours before kickoff.
