Donovan Jackson, Ohio State's left guard, talked about his absence in the first two games of the season.
Ohio State left guard Donovan Jackson missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. He returned against Marshall, ready to roll.Jackson, the team’s most prominent returner along the offensive line, missed the first two weeks of the season with a hamstring issue. For a player with one year left at Ohio State, it wasn’t the easiest news to take, as he detailed on Wednesday night in his first time addressing the injury with the media.
Jackson wasn’t available in part at the behest of coach Ryan Day, who stressed to him that it was best to miss the first two games and come back after the bye week than risk further injury. Especially against two Group of Five opponents, it made sense to let Jackson heal for what could end up being a season that stretches into late January.
Despite not being a, “Happy camper” through two weeks, Jackson returned to the lineup against Marshall, ready to roll once again. He helped pave the way for running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins to rush for 249 yards between them.
