After dealing with injuries earlier this year, Ohio State sophomore cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock are both feeling healthy and confident entering the final month of the regular season.
Burke has already dealt with multiple injury setbacks this year. Going into the season, Burke suffered a shoulder injury in preseason camp. While that injury didn’t force him to miss any games, it did limit his practice reps for several weeks, which caught up to him on Saturdays as he did not play up to his usual standard early in the season.
The second-year cornerback was forced to miss Ohio State’s fourth game of the season against Wisconsin after he suffered a painful hand injury that required surgery – though he still made an effort to play against the Badgers just three days later.
