J.T. Barrett ‘Looks Great’, Expected to Be Ready for Saturday
Despite leaving last Saturday’s game against Michigan with a knee injury, Ohio State starting quarterback J.T. Barrett was confident after OSU’s win over the Wolverines that he would be ready for Wisconsin and the Big Ten Championship Game in one week.
“Yeah, I’ll play next week,” he said without hesitation.
On Sunday, however, Barrett was not yet practicing.
Players are given Mondays off, so Tuesday’s practice was an opportunity to find out just where Barrett stood.
“He looks great,” said freshman running back J.K. Dobbins, adding that Barrett was running just fine.
“He’s going to be alright,” left tackle Jamarco Jones added. “He’ll be ready when Saturday comes.”

J.T. BARRETT BACK PRACTICING, DWAYNE HASKINS CONTINUES TO GET REPS PRIOR TO BIG TEN TITLE GAME
Ohio State's J.T. Barrett suffered an injury thanks to a cameraman just prior to taking the field for The Game in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday, leaving the Buckeyes with a unique situation.
The Buckeyes have not committed to who will play quarterback against the Badgers, although it's largely assumed Barrett will play if he is healthy enough to perform.
Just in case he isn't able to play against Wisconsin, Dwayne Haskins is getting extra reps in practice this week. Haskins came on in relief of Barrett in the second half of a 31-20 win over Michigan, leading three scoring drives in four tries.
Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said Tuesday evening that Ohio State didn't have to shrink its playbook for Haskins, who was playing his first meaningful reps of his career.
"We didn't cut back what we were doing the other day when he was in there. We did what we did," Wilson said.
