OT Zen Michalski's status unclear for Buckeyes vs. Penn State

Ohio State offensive tackle Zen Michalski, who was carted off late in Saturday's win over Nebraska, could return this week at No. 3 Penn State.

Coach Ryan Day said there hasn't been a determination on Michalski's status. Michalski made his first start in place of Josh Simmons, who suffered a season-ending left knee injury in Ohio State's Oct. 12 loss at Oregon. After Michalski sustained a lower-body injury in the fourth quarter, Ohio State moved Donovan Jackson from left guard to left tackle.

Day said a determination on whether Michalski starts at Penn State will be made after he's cleared to return.
