Just months after suffering an achilles injury in March, Ohio State's captain and only returning starter at linebacker is back on the field.
He didn't get the start, but Tuf Borland was healthy enough to play during Saturday's season opener against Oregon State and saw action midway through the first quarter.

Borland was not originally expected to be ready by the start of the season, but his recovery went much better than expected. He said earlier this week that he was "ready to go."
It looks like he could be returning to the starting lineup much sooner than later.
