Siereveld → start → games
Day offered no update on Siereveld on Tuesday, but he said Daniels is expected to practice in full this week.
asserted
Daniels → offer → Tuesday
That could mean he returns to right tackle with VanSickle at right guard if Siereveld remains out, but Day said the staff was satisfied with what it saw from VanSickle against the Terrapins.

Buckeyes → sack → yards
