The bad injury news of the week arrived on Tuesday for Ohio State when Seth McLaughlin suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.
But there are some silver linings to the Buckeyes' injury report against No. 5 Indiana. No other starters are out besides McLaughlin and Josh Simmons, also out for the season with a knee injury, and No. 2 tight end Will Kacmarek is available for the first time in more than a month, bolstering Ohio State's depth and blocking ability at the position. Backup defensive end Mitchell Melton also returns after missing last week's game at Northwestern.
