DAMON ARNETTE ISN'T LETTING BROKEN WRIST SLOW HIM DOWN IN SENIOR SEASON AT OHIO STATE
Damon Arnette has been playing with a broken wrist all season.
The fifth-year senior Ohio State cornerback suffered the injury during the first two weeks of preseason camp. As he attempted to punch the ball out of J.K. Dobbins’ hand on a run during practice, his right wrist bent backward.
That wasn’t enough to take him off the field, however.
“I finished that practice though, by the way,” Arnette made sure to say while explaining on Wednesday how he suffered the injury.
At the time, Arnette didn’t realize he had broken his wrist. He didn’t know that until after the third game of the season, when he decided to undergo an X-ray due to lingering pain. During the Buckeyes’ first bye week following their sixth game of the season, Arnette underwent surgery, which has forced him to wear a bigger cast on his wrist than he was before.
Still, with the exception of Ohio State’s 10th game of the season at Rutgers – for which he was available to play but was held out for precautionary reasons due to the lopsided nature of the matchup – none of that has been enough to take Arnette off the field.
In his mind, the broken wrist just isn’t a big deal. It certainly wasn’t going to keep him from playing as hard as he can in his final season as a Buckeye.
“When I found out it was broken, I didn’t even think twice about it,” Arnette said. “I was just like ‘Oh ok.’ Because I was already playing with it.
“It just is what it is right now,” Arnette added. “I’m just trying to keep my head down until we run through the finish line, then I’ll be able to look up and see what I’ve played through and what we’ve accomplished, after we’ve accomplished what we need to accomplish.”
