Fall camp is typically a time of excitement, with position battles heating up, new leaders emerging, and fans getting an early look at the upcoming season. For Ohio State, the anticipation for 2025 was especially high after a national title run.
The team has a deep offense, a solid coaching staff, and a defense filled with both veteran talent and eager newcomers. However, day one of training camp quickly took a turn for the worse, leaving fans and coaches on edge.
Shilo Sanders gets advice from Buccaneers player who’s he fighting against for the starting job
What started as a routine opening practice for Ohio State quickly became a cause for concern when sophomore defensive tackle Eddrick Houston went down with a leg injury.
Houston, expected to step into the role left by NFL first-round pick Tyleik Williams, was set to be an integral part of Ohio State’s defense for the upcoming season. Fans were left holding their breath as word spread that Houston had to be helped off the field late in practice.
Ryan Day, Ohio State’s head coach, offered little clarity on the injury after practice. According to an insider, Day had not spoken to anyone about the severity of the injury, leaving the Ohio State community to wonder about Houston’s status.
The defensive tackle position is critical for the team, and losing a player like Houston could be a significant blow. Ohio State simply cannot afford to lose a starter in this crucial spot, especially with the high expectations surrounding the team.
The importance of Houston’s role
Houston wasn’t just another defensive lineman; he was expected to fill the massive shoes left by Tyleik Williams. Williams was a dominant force last season and became a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Replacing his production was going to be a major challenge, but with Houston already primed for the role, many believed the defense would remain strong. Now, the uncertainty surrounding Houston’s injury has cast doubt on that plan.
Behind Houston, the depth at defensive tackle is concerning. Players like Will Smith Jr., Tywone Malone Jr., and Jason Moore are next in line, but they combined for fewer than 200 snaps last season.
Without established depth, Ohio State’s defensive line could face significant challenges, especially against tough opponents. Even a short-term injury to Houston would have a ripple effect across the entire defense.
Fans rally in support
As news of Houston’s injury spread, Ohio State fans flooded social media with messages of concern and prayers for a speedy recovery. Many expressed that the defensive tackle position was the last place the team could afford a significant injury.
“Praying for Eddrick Houston,” one fan wrote, while others shared their worries about the impact on the team’s title hopes.
Though it’s still too early to know the extent of Houston’s injury, the fanbase remains anxious. The defensive tackle spot is vital to Ohio State’s success, and even a minor setback could affect the defense’s performance. As Ohio State aims for another national championship run, the hope remains that Houston’s injury will prove to be a minor setback, and he’ll be back on the field soon.
The uncertainty surrounding Houston’s condition adds an unexpected layer of tension to Ohio State’s fall camp. Fans, coaches, and teammates alike are anxiously awaiting further updates, hoping for the best outcome for the talented defensive lineman.

NFL Week 7 Betting: Best early bets before lines move
Week 6 is nearly a wrap, and betting lines are now available for Week 7. Here are our favorite early spread picks for the slate. Houston Texans vs. Seattle Seahawks (-3) [Total: 42.5] Best Bet: Under 42.5 Riding a two-game win streak and coming off a bye, the Texans, on the surface, seem to have found some answers to their offensive inefficiencies. Since Week 4, they own the highest touchdown drive rate (42.1%) and the second-highest EPA per play (0.261) in the NFL. Some of that stems from the offense's newfound ability to operate without constant pressure bearing down on quarterback C.J. Stroud. However, the Seahawks stand in stark contrast to the Ravens‘ and Titans‘ defenses. Mike Macdonald’s unit keeps teams off schedule, ranking fourth best in successful play rate allowed on first and second downs allowed (30.2%) while limiting […]
