Battling minor injury Coach Chris Holtman indicated Thursday that Ahrens "is a little banged up" but that he shouldn't be sidelined long, Patrick Murphy of 247Sports reports.
Impact At this point, there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about regarding Ahrens' status leading up to the season, but it will be worth monitoring his progress over the next couple of weeks. Ohio State officially opens action with an exhibition match versus Indianapolis on Nov. 1, with the regular season opening Nov. 9 versus Akron.

Not starting Sunday Ahrens is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Iowa, Adam Jardy of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Impact Ahrens has failed to score in each of the last two games for the Buckeyes which ultimately left head coach Chris Holtmann no choice but to bring him in off the bench. The Hawkeyes have one of the most explosive offenses in the country and the Buckeyes are going to need all the scoring they can get to keep pace. Ahrens hasn't played over 20 minutes in five of the last six games despite being a starter and that trend may continue into Sunday if the Hawkeyes get out to a hot start.

Productive on scoreboard Ahrens logged 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 30 minutes in Saturday's 87-81 win over Illinois.

The junior has been quite inconsistent early in the season, but he appears to be getting into a rhythm on the scoreboard while he's been starting games for the Buckeyes.
