Ohio State’s depth chart is about to get its first major shakeup of the season.
The Buckeyes’ starting lineup stayed consistent for the first half of the regular season, save for a few starters missing one or two games with short-term injuries. Going into the second half of the season, however, Ohio State is preparing to replace two key players of its offense. Starting left tackle Josh Simmons suffered a likely season-ending injury in Ohio State’s loss to Oregon while No. 2 tight end Will Kacmarek is also expected to miss extended time with an injury he suffered against the Ducks.
