Per the Columbus Dispatch today who talked with Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Dad:

Bad News:

• The absolute earliest he could return would be the Michigan game on 11/26 and he may not be ready for that

Good News:

• He missed practice last week to meet with Dr. James Andrews who confirmed that he doesn't need surgery
• He doesn't plan on pulling a Nick Bosa and fully intends on suiting up again this year, potentially for the Michigan game or more likely the playoff (assuming OSU makes it)
