Ohio State Football: Legend Bey, Riley Pettijohn Injury Updates

Ohio State Injury Updates + Ryan Day on Mental Health | Buckeye Weekly Podcast

On the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss Ryan Day’s update that Ohio State players who missed spring with various injuries and procedures (including issues like labrums and meniscus) are expected to be healed in time to have full summers, emphasizing how crucial summer work is for preparing for fall camp, especially for offensive linemen and running backs. They note spring is the right time to be cautious and get nagging issues cleaned up, while also highlighting the need for a mental break after spring ball. The conversation shifts to Day’s children’s mental health initiatives with Nina Day through the Kids Mental Health Foundation, including an event in New Hampshire focused on improving access, reducing stigma, and building resiliency, with encouragement for philanthropy and broader national expansion.
