Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is looked at by team officials after being sacked during the second half of a NCAA football game on Nov. 25 in Ann Arbor, Mich. Barrett did not return after the sack.
COLUMBUS, Ohio >> Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said quarterback J.T. Barrett is “probable” to play in the Big Ten Championship game on Saturday.
Meyer said today that Barrett, who left the game with a knee injury in the third quarter during a win over Michigan on Saturday, is “really doing a nice job with all the rehab.”
The decision whether to start Barrett or backup Dwayne Haskins will be made later in the week. Barrett did not practice Sunday.
Haskins, a redshirt freshman, entered the game with the Buckeyes trailing 20-14 and helped lead a comeback victory.
Barrett said he aggravated a meniscus injury before the game when he was bumped by someone while warming up on the sideline.
The No. 8 Buckeyes play No. 3 Wisconsin Saturday in Indianapolis.
