We’ve all been following the up-and-down injury concerns for Ohio State star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He’s been in, out, maybe in, maybe out, then out again — all stemming from a hamstring injury he sustained in the first game of the year vs. Notre Dame.
And while the Ohio State coaching staff has been rather coy about his return, there’s no question the injury seems to be more severe than anyone wants to let on. I mean, hamstring injuries can be tricky, but the effort to get Smith-Njigba back on the field fully healthy has been a struggle, to say the least.
