Linebacker Curtis Grant has missed a lot of practice time this preseason with a concussion, but defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell said Ryan Shazier and Grant are expected to be the two starting linebackers in the nickel defense. Josh Perry is still the starter on the strongside.

Meyer said MLB Curtis Grant missed 9-10 practices in camp but has played well in last week and will start.
Several big mistakes that were obvious, but the most important part of his job will be evaluated by the coaches...
The schedule gives him time to grow into the MLB the Buckeyes need, but he's not quite there yet
Ohio State LB Curtis Grant's requirements vs. San Diego State: Confidence, tackling, "crazy mentality"

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Middle linebacker Curtis Grant had an idea on the first day of full contact during Ohio State's preseason camp.
“I came through on a blitz and whoever had the ball, I just wanted to kill. That was kind of crazy on my part, but at the same time you need that crazy mentality to play middle linebacker,” Grant said Wednesday.
Bad idea.
Grant suffered a concussion on the play and wound up missing about two weeks of preseason practice. It was smart and safe to keep him out, obviously. But while he stood on the sidelines and players like walkon Joe Burger worked in at middle linebacker, Grant felt like he fell behind. Against San Diego State on Saturday the Buckeyes will need him.
