Good news Buckeye fans! After has his shoulder operated on, senior quarterback Braxton Miller has been cleared for throwing activities without restrictions.
A report from 247Sports says that Miller is cleared to start throwing the football again despite have a minor setback a few weeks ago.
Sources close to Ohio State have informed Bucknuts/247Sports that Buckeyes’ QB Braxton Miller has been fully cleared to throw the football as of this past Monday (June 8) with no limitations on his surgically repaired shoulder.
The news comes on the heels of reports that Miller had a “minor setback” a few weeks ago during workouts, having a little bit of pain in his throwing shoulder. Sources have confirmed that it was nothing more than some normal soreness, and since thenUrban Meyer has come out and stated that he expects Miller to be healthy and ready to compete for the starting quarterback job this year.
Miller suffered his initial injury in January 2014 against Clemson in the Orange Bowl and re-injured his shoulder in a non-contact drill last August during pre-season camp.
While the news that Miller can begin throwing with no limitations is certainly encouraging, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the fifth year senior will be the Buckeyes’ starter behind center when the team kicks-off against Virginia Tech on September 7 in Blacksburg.
With Miller looking to be on schedule to put the pads on come training camp, the plot continues to thicken for Ohio State, as they will now have three more than capable quarterbacks on campus.
I have no idea how Urban Meyer convinced all three quarterbacks to stay on campus with only one ball to go around, but it is going to be interesting to see how it plays out this fall.
