Austin Siereveld returns to practice ahead of USC matchup
Summary

Ohio State offensive lineman Austin Siereveld returned to practice this week after missing two games due to an illness. Head coach Ryan Day indicated that Siereveld's availability for the upcoming game against USC would be determined through the week. Siereveld's return could provide a crucial boost to the offensive line, particularly in protecting the starting quarterback, who is yet to be named. The Buckeyes previously struggled without him, leading to significant issues with pass protection and run game effectiveness.
