On Tuesday, Barrett posted a photo on Instagram of two screws that were removed from the ankle he fractured in the regular-season finale against Michigan.

Jones stepped in, finished off the Wolverines, then led the Buckeyes to the Big Ten title over Wisconsin, a College Football Playoff victory against Alabama in the semifinals and the national championship win against Oregon.

Miller announced recently that he’s throwing again.

All three remain on the Ohio State roster despite a lot of talk at the end of the season that Miller would seek a transfer. Because he’s a graduate, he can play anywhere immediately.
