It is officially bowl week for the Ohio State football team, as it prepares to face off against Missouri in the Cotton Bowl.
Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, they did have to spend the holidays away from their families, but they did spend it with another, their football family. The majority of Ohio State players who have yet to make their intentions known, look like they will suit up on Friday against the Tigers.
There was one player who we were all waiting on an announcement from, but it not a shock to see that he is with the team, but not practicing. Let’s take a look at some of the Ohio State practice videos shared across social media.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is present, but not participating
Might be a big indication of Marvin Harrison Jr's status for Friday night.

It comes to no one’s surprise that Harrison Jr. will most likely not play. The No. 1 wide receiver prospect in this coming NFL draft doesn’t need to prove anything else at this level.

With Kyle McCord off to Syracuse, it’s Devin Brown’s team. Here he is seen getting first team reps with running back TreVeyon Henderson, who looks to be playing on Friday.

Egbuka is another player who we didn’t know his status heading into the game, but it very much looks like he will be playing.

This group of players also had a bunch of questions surrounding them, but like the others already highlighted, it looks like they will all suit up.

Brown will start the game, but many, including myself, want to see some extended action from his backup Lincoln Kienholz.
