COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State running back Miyan Williams injured his right leg and had to be carted to the locker room in the first half of the Buckeyes' 56-14 win over Indiana on Saturday.
Williams already had rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown when he went down awkwardly on his ankle after a 4-yard gain with 2:17 left in the first half and the No. 2 Buckeyes leading Indiana 28-7.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Williams' injury didn't immediately appear to be "something that was going to be long-term," adding that it's possible Henderson could be back next week. Freshman Dallan Hayden moved up to be the No. 1 back, rushing for a career-high 102 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Xavier Johnson lined up as a back and ran for a 71-yard TD in the fourth quarter.
Williams has carried the load the past two games with TreVeyon Henderson sidelined with an injury. Ohio State hasn't disclosed details of Henderson's injury, but it could be problematic if both experienced backs are on the shelf for the matchup with No. 3 Michigan in two weeks.
Williams broke away for a 48-yard touchdown run earlier in the second quarter, recording his fourth 100-yard game of the season.
The Buckeyes (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) had piled up 377 yards by the time Williams left the game and seemed to be back on track after struggling to beat Northwestern on a windy day the previous week. They finished with 662.
