Thanks to Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, we have visual confirmation that the Buckeyes began their game week of practices on Sunday – and that wide receiver Chris Olave (if you zoom in and look carefully for the player wearing the scarlet No. 2 uniform) is on the practice field.
Another day of preparation in the books! #GoBuckeyes pic.twitter.com/44s7qReGVZ

Players are allowed to practice after 10 days, so Olave's presence on the field is not a guarantee that he'll be available to play on Friday, but it's another good sign after Ryan Day already indicated that Olave would be back in time for this week's game against Clemson.
