Ohio State will be without quarterback Devin Brown in Saturday’s spring game. The second-year quarterback has been in a close battle with third-year Kyle McCord for the starting job. Here’s what you need to know:

Brown had minor surgery on a finger on his throwing hand, coach Ryan Day said. He will not play in the spring game but is expected to start throwing again soon.

With Brown out, McCord will likely take all of the starter reps in the game. The two have been splitting the reps all spring, fighting through a close quarterback battle that had yet to be settled.

The procedure to Brown’s finger was to address a recent injury, not something that has been lingering throughout the spring. Day expects Brown will be back soon and have a full summer.
