After Saturday's game Barrett was confident he would be ready to play against Wisconsin, but during the Big Ten Championship Game coaches’ teleconference on Sunday, Meyer said he "won't know for a couple days" whether Barrett would be healthy enough to play.
Barrett was injured by a cameraman before Ohio State's game against Michigan, then aggravated the injury in the third quarter, causing him to miss the remainder of the game.
With Ohio State down 20-14, redshirt quarterback Dwayne Haskins came in for Barrett and finished 6-of-7 for 94 yards to help lead the Buckeyes to a 31-20 come-back win.
Meyer said Barrett did not practice on Sunday and the team does not practice on Monday, but because of his injury, Barrett and Haskins will split reps more than usual in practice this week.
