Holtmann says Meechie Johnson "won't come back until his injury is healed," which might not be for a couple weeks.

Holtmann says Meechie Johnson got "hit in his face by I believe a forearm or an elbow" in practice. "Hopefully this won't set him back. ... he may look a little bit different with what they're requiring him to wear to protect his face."

Chris Holtmanns says Meechie Johnson had both a facial fracture and a concussion, and he will wear a mask upon returning for Ohio State. "He looks like a villain ... it gives him a nastiness to him."

Holtmann says the Buckeyes will get a better idea of Johnson's availability moving forward later today.

 

Meechie Johnson will be available for the first time since Jan. 9 for Ohio State tonight, but Jamari Wheeler is out with a foot injury. https://t.co/i4dUYwivpZ

#Buckeyes coach Chris Holtmann, on radio show, talking about Meechie Johnson Jr.: "The ankle is still really tender for him. He can move up and down but he can't move vertically as well as he would like to." Said it's his first-ever ankle sprain.

#Buckeyes assistant Ryan Pedon says Meechie Johnson is day-to-day. Maybe good news "No update on Justice (Sueing) either. I would say, we’ll find out more today in practice. He’s incrementally improving. Hopeful." That's the most positive update on Sueing in some time.
