Ohio State just finished their second practice with media availability afterwards, and their third of Fall Camp. The Big Ten Network and multiple beat writers were on hand to give you the latest on how they looked, and how multiple position group battles were unfolding, including at running back and offensive line.

Dave Revsine of the Big Ten Network's initial reaction to the Buckeyes isn't unexpected, but still probably a positive sign for the team.

Your entire first team OL today? The most intriguing position battles at camp are probably in this group:

Not on that list? Alabama transfer Chad Lindsay. But hey, it's still really early. But if you want to go ahead and read into that a little, you can.

That doesn't mean this battle is settled though.

Also, it doesn't mean that some of Ohio State's young guns on the line aren't making a name for themselves early on though.

At right tackle, here are your standings:

Previously, we had written that Ezekiel Elliot was likely to be the leading man in Ohio State's running back depth chart, and Revsine apparently doesn't disagree.

Warren Ball wasn't mentioned in Dienhart's tweet. Perhaps this might have something to do with it:

But it doesn't appear the injury is THAT serious. At least there is this:

Lattimore and Ball aren't the only Buckeyes who are feeling a little banged up.

But maybe that soreness isn't really too much to worry about. Cleveland.com says that Cardale Jones took some reps with the first team while Miller was limited. JT Barrett also threw, and apparently looked good.

So, sounds more like a spring training situation then, rather than anything to be concerned over.

And now, in "it's probably too early to freak out but go ahead and freak out a little bit" news:

But don't worry, there is some good news out of the secondary to help offset that:

Luke Fickell also continues the praise for the linebacker unit, after Meyer did so at Big Ten Media days:

And for whatever concerns you may have about Ohio State's secondary this year, remember, you still have this:
