First it was TreVeyon Henderson's foot. Now No. 2 Ohio State has another running back injury to worry about with Miyan Williams being carted off the field toward the end of the first half with an apparent leg injury against Indiana.
Williams, who was having a monster game with 15 carries and 147 yards (47 coming on a touchdown run in second quarter), gave Ohio State fans the "O-H" sign on the way out while sitting up, which will undoubtedly be a reassuring sign.

On the year, Williams has been outstanding. Coming into Saturday he had 102 carries for 636 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns. His reliability has been a boon for Ohio State in closing games.
Fox's Jenny Taft later reported Williams was out for the rest of the game against Indiana. Now, however, Ohio State's matchup with No. 3 Michigan in two weeks looms larger than ever. If Henderson is less than 100 percent and Williams is out, OSU's life against the Wolverines gets far more difficult.
Miyan Williams injury history
Williams entered this game battered as well.
He suffered an injury against Penn State two weeks ago that sidelined him for three quarters and led to him icing his knee on the sidelines in the second half.

Williams also missed Ohio State's game against Michigan State with an unknown injury.
Ohio State will be hoping this particular ailment heals quickly.
Ohio State running back depth chart
Ohio State is remarkably deep at running back -- much like just about every other position -- but Henderson and Williams are undoubtedly own the lion's share of the running game.
Behind them are true freshmen Dallan Hayden and TC Caffey, alongside redshirt freshman Cayden Saunders.
| Player | Carries | Yards | TDs |
| Miyan Williams* | 102 | 636 | 12 |
| TreVeyon Henderson* | 96 | 552 | 6 |
| Dallan Hayden | 54 | 255 | 1 |
| TC Caffey* | 10 | 66 | 1 |
| Cayden Saunders | 2 | 6 | 0 |
* - Injured
If Williams misses time and Henderson continues to do so, expect to see Hayden and Caffey step in as Nos. 1 and 2, with Saunders acting as a spell.
