Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown has left the Cotton Bowl with an apparent ankle injury.
In his first start for the Buckeyes after backing up Kyle McCord in 2023, Brown was taken down on a four-yard loss and was seen grabbing his ankle after the play. Brown completed a 4-yard pass to Carnell Tate before leaving the game with a limp.
Brown returned for the next drive — a three-and-out near the Missouri goal line — before walking to the locker room with medical staff.
Brown left Ohio State’s win against Penn State in October with a right ankle sprain. Friday’s Cotton Bowl game was Brown’s first appearance since the injury.
The Cotton Bowl vs. Missouri is Brown’s first start.
