DE Kenyatta Jackson (National Champion)

Ohio State Defensive End Kenyatta Jackson Jr. Suffers an Injury, Ryan Day Doesn't Expect It To Be Long-Term

157612_h.jpg


Senior defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. left the game in the third quarter after getting rolled up on and suffering what appeared to be a leg injury and did not return to action.

Following a few minutes on the ground with the training staff, Jackson walked off gingerly and was evaluated in Ohio State's medical tent. He emerged a few minutes later and walked off under his own power, though without his helmet. Jackson did not return to the game and finished with three total tackles.

In his postgame press conference, Ryan Day declined to reveal the specific injury and said it needed further evaluation, but he didn't expect it would be a long-term injury.

“Kenyatta, I don’t think I can come up and say exactly what it was, but they took his helmet away," Day said. "We’ll kind of evaluate how that is moving forward. But I don’t see it being a long-term injury.”

Landis said pretty confidently without talking to anyone that it was a concussion.

Just sayin': At the game while watching him on the turf, medical personnel examining him (they never even looked at his knees, legs, or ankles), and staff helping him up/leading him to the medical tent (his full weight was on his legs however he did appear kind of wobbly); that's what I thought too.
