  Cody Simon gutted it out as long as he could last year. The Ohio State linebacker played the 2021 season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, feeling a responsibility to his teammates to do what he could on a struggling defense. But after the Michigan game, he realized that enough was enough. He had surgery and missed the Rose Bowl and was limited in spring practice in hopes of being ready for his junior season in 2022. Simon watched the game from the sideline in Pasadena with a sling to protect his right shoulder. "It hurt to not play in that Rose Bowl," he said. "Guys are struggling every day. Bowl practice is really important, and they're grinding every day. To not be able to be out there with them was tough. But at some point, you know when it's gone too far (to keep playing)." Taking the long-term view appears to have worked out. Simon, who finished fourth on the team in tackles last year with 54, pronounced himself fully healthy on Tuesday. "It's been a long road, but through the whole offseason, I've been rehabbing it," he said. "The summer was really important for me, and I got a lot stronger." - Columbus Dispatch
