RYAN DAY EXPECTS “GENETIC FREAK” MASTER TEAGUE TO ATTACK INJURY REHAB, HOPEFUL FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY
Outside of the obvious questions about when the Ohio State football team will be able to resume practices and whether the season will continue as scheduled, one of the biggest uncertainties currently surrounding the Buckeyes is whether Master Teague will be healthy enough to play this fall.
Before the coronavirus outbreak shut down spring practices and put sports across the country on pause, the greatest adversity the Buckeyes were facing this spring were their injuries at running back, where they were down to just one healthy scholarship player in Steele Chambers.
Now, what Ryan Day once described as “a little bit of a crisis” feels like a minor worry in the grand scheme of things, both because of what’s happening in the world beyond sports and because of the Buckeyes’ addition of Oklahoma graduate transfer Trey Sermon, which gives Ohio State a strong option to start at running back regardless of whether Teague is healthy.
Still, the Buckeyes would certainly like to have Teague available whenever they do return to the field. And while that’s very much in question after Teague suffered an Achilles injury during the Buckeyes’ opening practice of the spring, Day is holding out hope that Teague will be back on the field this fall.
While Achilles injuries often require long-term recoveries of up to a year, Teague can look to two of his teammates as inspiration to believe he can make it back for this season. Last year, Justin Hilliard returned for the Buckeyes’ third game of the season after rupturing his Achilles during a March practice. One year earlier, Tuf Borland made it back for the season opener after he ruptured his Achilles in March.
Day believes Teague is made of the right stuff, both physically and mentally, to potentially follow in their footsteps.
“Master’s a very mature young man, he’s got his priorities straight. He’s gonna attack this rehab, and he’s gonna do the best he can to get back as fast as possible,” Day said during a teleconference with reporters last week. “He’s a little bit of a genetic freak. So we’re hopeful that with our team and with his hard work and just the way his genetics are, he’ll have a speedy recovery here. But we also don’t want to rush it. So there’s a fine line there.”
While most Ohio State football players have returned home to their families while team activities and in-person classes are on hold, Teague – along with several other players recovering from injuries – has stayed in Columbus so he can continue his rehabilitation at the Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute on campus.

Master Teague Among Buckeyes Rehabbing In Columbus
Not that there are necessarily routine injuries, but there are routines for dealing with injuries.
Medical professionals have seen it all and been trained for everything, but for the person who is injured, it becomes a very singular situation.
When Ohio State running back Master Teague suffered an Achilles injury early last month and was lost for the rest of spring camp, the normal process began immediately for getting him healthy.
Then the dorms and football facilities and just about every last bit of campus got shut down due to the coronavirus outbreak, and all of the “normal processes” that go along with rehabbing an injury got thrown into a blender for a bit.
Ohio State has not addressed Teague’s injury in much — if any — detail, which is head coach Ryan Day’s standard policy. Teague was also not the only Buckeye dealing with an injury at that point in camp.
With players sent home and scattered all over the country, some of those injured Buckeyes were actually able to stay in the dorms by filing waivers. These waivers weren’t just for athletes, of course. Any Ohio State student could submit one for extenuating circumstances, including if the city you would be heading back to was considered a “hot zone” for COVID-19.
“We decided that, whether it was because of an injury or whatever it was, that they were better off being here on campus in the dorms,” Day said recently. “And so there are a few guys here who are in the dorms that they went through and filed the waiver and got that done. So they’re local.”
Not everyone who had an injury stayed in Columbus, however. For those that didn’t stay in town, OSU head athletic trainer Shaun Barnhouse and his staff set up various arrangements for those players to continue their rehab at home.
For those who are still in Columbus, they are able to continue their rehab at the Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute, which is near the football facilities on OSU’s northwest campus.
Being able to continue rehab at a place Day and his staff are familiar with is no doubt a relief, especially when it comes to somebody like Master Teague who is going to be so influential this coming season.
“I can’t really get into too many details in terms of the medical stuff, but he’s local, which is great,” Day said. “He’s gonna rehab and do a great job with that. [Running back coach] Tony Alford is in constant communication with Master. Master is a very mature young man. He’s got his priorities straight. He’s going to attack this rehab and he’s gonna do the best he can to get back as fast as possible.

Master Teague strolled into the Woody Hayes Athletic Center with a mask on and carrying a loose handful of wires.
He didn’t have on a walking boot. The Ohio State running back also wasn’t limping. Both of those can be chalked up as positive developments for somebody who tore an Achilles tendon just three months ago.
So, by normal human standards, it’s probably fair to assume that Teague is ahead of a typical rehab schedule for an injury like he suffered on the first practice of spring camp in March. Is he far enough along that he could potentially be ready to make aggressive cuts, run full speed and stand up to the rugged requirements of his position by the start of the season in September? That remains unclear, although Teague is certainly doing everything he possibly can to make it happen.
“[Watching] as closely as I can,” Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford said a few weeks ago. “We have an amazing training staff, our doctors are second to none. So, I go off what they tell me.
“From all indications, both [Teague and Marcus Crowley] are doing well in rehab. They’re attacking this thing the way that we want them to and we would expect them to. I’m kind of at their mercy. As far as the medical staff, they’ll tell me when they’re ready and let Coach [Ryan] Day know what we’ve got. From all indicators, they’re doing a nice job and they’re on schedule.”
.

So, it’s certainly not out of the question that Teague’s relentless work ethic, impressive physique and one of the best training staffs in the country could get the tailback ready to contribute for the Buckeyes this year. But it’s too early to know for sure when he’ll be fully comfortable again with his Achilles and ready to perform at the level required of a starter for a national-championship contender, and that is going to make him one of the most closely-watched players on the roster when Ohio State gets the green light to resume football activities.
Master Teague is almost certainly ahead of schedule compared to most mortals. But it remains to be seen when exactly that will put him back on the field for the Buckeyes.

Got an interesting text from my daughter a little while ago. They live in Murfreesboro and recently moved into a new neighborhood. As they were out walking this morning they saw a car pulling into a driveway with a tOSU flag in the yard. My daughter stopped them and said she was a Bucks fan. Turns out it was Master Teague's parents. They live 3 doors down from my daughter. His mom talked about how proud they are of him, and what a great kid he is. Unfortunately the 3-year-old was ahead of his parents with his brother. He's the one who would have excitedly been saying, "Ohio State!"
And my daughter said Master's dad is a LARGE individual.

“I will say that Master has done an unbelievable job of rehabbing — he has been focused on it, he’s been disciplined and he amazes me every day with what he’s done to get to even where he’s at right now,” Day said. “Very, very impressed with what he’s done. It wasn’t easy, because he was on his own a lot.”

His dad played football at MTSU. One of my good buddies played with him. He told me about Master when he was in HS, and about how great of a family he comes from.

Yep, very impressed with this kid. Every video clip and interview I've seen from him I come away thinking, "This kid's parents raised him the right way". Very intelligent, motivated, hard working, respectful kid. With those attributes, he will be successful in life no matter what he chooses to do.

So, getting down to some football talk. The delayed start may mean we don’t lose any games with Master Teague.
No need to rush an achilles, but if he was on track to maybe practice by end of summer, an normal October isn’t out of the question, right? Interested what Day says when his pressers start up again.
