Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR Ohio State can’t get back on the field

Still viewed as one of the top WRs for the 2023 NFL Draft, Smith-Njigba has struggled with a hamstring injury all season. He was finally set to return against Iowa and resume his spot as the top weapon for the Buckeyes. After an opening drive catch and fumble, he was put on the bench with speculation surrounding if he re-aggravated his hamstring injury. Ultimately, he returned briefly, with head coach Ryan Day putting him on a pitch count. It’s very possible the draft stock and devy value of Smith-Njigba have fallen and may not be rehabbed until he gets on an NFL field.
