The Buckeyes will be down two starters when they take on Minnesota on Saturday afternoon as Jonathon Cooper and Malik Harrison are not dressed for the game and will not play.
Both Cooper and Harrison left last week's game against Indiana and were in concussion protocol this week, but neither will play against the Gophers.
In their place, Justin Hilliard was warming up with the first-team defense and looks to get the start at linebacker while Jashon Cornell looks to get the start at defensive end opposite of Chase Young.
Cornell and Hilliard committed on the same day as part of the 2015 class, now they'll make their first starts together.
