All of Ohio State's silver bullets are in the chamber for its duel with Michigan.

Other than starting safety Lathan Ransom, who had already been declared out for the regular season with a lower-body injury, no major Buckeye contributors are listed as either out or questionable against the Wolverines on the team's status report.

That means the returns of both linebacker Tommy Eichenberg and defensive tackle Mike Hall, who both missed last week's game against Minnesota.

Despite missing the last two contests, Eichenberg is still the Buckeyes' leading tackler on the season with 73 takedowns. He's a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given annually to the best defensive player in college football. Eichenberg missed the final series of Ohio State's game at Rutgers on Nov. 4 and was seen with ice wrapped around his arm after the game, and he sat out the subsequent two games against Michigan State and Minnesota.

Hall has been the team's starting nose guard this season, collecting 17 tackles with two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. He exited the Michigan State game on Nov. 11 following the second series due to an undisclosed injury and did not return. After a week off from action, he's back at the Buckeyes' disposal against the Wolverines. 

Nickel Cam Martinez, a depth piece for Ohio State's secondary who has appeared in four games, is also available after being out last week. Backup quarterback Devin Brown, who was listed as questionable last week and has not played since the Penn State game due to an ankle injury, is also absent from this week’s injury report, indicating he will be available to play against Michigan.

The Buckeyes and Wolverines kick off at noon on FOX.
