According to sources, Smith-Njigba is expected to return against Iowa on Saturday.
Smith-Njigba, who broke the Big Ten record for yards in a season in 2021, has only played in two games this season due to a injury. He is going to play a lot against Iowa.
Smith-Njigba hasn't played since the Toledo game because the Ohio State staff wants to make sure he's healthy before he returns to the field.
Miyan Williams, who didn't play two weeks ago against Michigan State because of a knee injury, will be back in the lineup. He leads the nation in average yards per carry and has eight touchdown runs on 64 carries.
The Ohio State offense is expected to get a boost with the return of Smith-Njigba and Williams.
Smith-Njigba broke the Big Ten receiving record. Smith-Njigba's 347 receiving yards in the Rose Bowl is the fifth highest single-game total in NCAA Division I history.
