Ohio State notebook: Small could be big

Ohio State WR Ray Small could play this week against Akron. Small, who missed the opener and much of August workouts, is recovering from a high ankle sprain. Head Coach Jim Tressel said Small, a knock off of Ted Ginn Jr., worked out Monday and ran well. "I think you have to be smart with injuries. ... Right when it looks like a guy is ready to come back, we all - player included - tend to over do it," Tressel said "We've got to be smart. I'm hoping he can progress, help us and be one of the guys."
