Ohio State linebacker Tuf Borland suffered an Achilles injury last week, but Urban Meyer doesn’t expect it to cost his middle linebacker the 2018 season. In fact, Meyer expects the malady to only cost him a third of the season at most.
Meyer said Monday he expects Borland to return to the lineup by September.
