Cameron Brown ‘doing whatever he can’ to be back for Buckeyes

Cameron Brown has been sidelined for the last couple of weeks, unable to play for Ohio State.

Brown, who has dealt with injuries in his past for the Buckeyes, is trying his best to return to action this week after missing the last two games. And while it has been a frustrating few weeks for the senior cornerback and leader of his unit, he has a big chance to make a comeback ahead of the first Ohio State road trip of the season.

“I don’t think anybody is more frustrated than he is,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “Hopefully this is a great week of work and we get him back on Saturday.”

Ohio State hasn’t been at full strength in the secondary for nearly a month. But with Cameron Brown hopeful to return this week, the Buckeyes can take a major step forward on the injury front — and get their best cornerback back on the field ahead of the off week and second half of the season.

Full coverage of Ohio State practice

The Buckeyes will battle the Spartans inside Spartan Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the first road trip as they hit the halfway point in the season. In preparation for the Buckeyes game against Michigan State, they held a media session with head coach Ryan Day, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and running backs coach Tony Alford inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Spencer Holbrook and Tim May were back inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday, breaking down how the Buckeyes are turning their focus to Michigan State in the latest Practice Report presented by Byers Auto. Every Tuesday following the media session with the Buckeyes, Tim and Spencer will chat about what they saw Saturday night and look ahead to what to expect from Ohio State the next Saturday.

After hearing from Ryan Day and other Buckeyes, the Lettermen Row crew is back for a full report on what it learned.

New Tim May Podcast edition

Ohio State destroyed Rutgers to earn a big conference win behind a massive performance from star running back Miyan Williams, who rushed for a school record-tying five touchdowns.

So Tim May and the Tim May Podcast had to make sure to catch up with one of the backs Williams now shares that touchdown record with! Tim is back to recap everything that happened in the Horseshoe over the weekend, and he has a special guest to break down the Big Ten game inside the Horseshoe on Saturday.

Tim welcomes former Ohio State running back Keith Byars to the show to break down how good the Buckeyes tailbacks are becoming. They also chat about what it’s like to score five touchdowns in one game and how the offensive line is doing just five games into the season.

Then Tim and Michigan State reporter Jack Ebling break down every angle of the upcoming Ohio State matchup against the Spartans — the first Buckeyes road game of the season, coming a bit later than most other seasons.
