Ohio State's Tyleik Williams set to return vs. Northwestern

The defensive line for No. 2 Ohio State will once again be intact as tackle Tyleik Williams is set to return for Saturday's game against Northwestern at Chicago's Wrigley Field.

Coach Ryan Day said Tuesday that Williams will play this week. The second-team All-Big Ten selection in 2023 left the Buckeyes' victory against Penn State on Nov. 2 in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.

Williams was available last week against Purdue and could have played, Day said, but did not see the field in Ohio State's 45-0 win.
