Ohio State will be without starting center Seth McLaughlin as it makes its push for the College Football Playoff, the Columbus Dispatch reported Wednesday.
Per the report, McLaughlin tore an Achilles tendon Tuesday in practice and is likely out for the season.
The injury comes as the No. 2 Buckeyes prepare to host No. 5 Indiana on Saturday in Columbus. The winner gets a matchup with No. 1 Oregon in the Big Ten championship game, with the playoffs looming.
It’s the latest key injury for the Buckeyes offensive line, which already is without starting left tackle Josh Simmons, lost for the season with a knee injury.
McLaughlin transferred to Ohio State this season from Alabama and was named to multiple midseason All-American teams.
Buckeyes coach Ryan Day has yet to address the injury and how he will fill the center spot but is scheduled to meet with the media later Wednesday.
Behind the offensive line, Ohio State is gaining an average of 5.25 yards per carry. The line also has allowed only 12 sacks in 10 games.
