Ohio State wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming returned from injuries against Toledo on Saturday.

But their roles were limited as the Buckeyes went ahead early in the blowout victory over the Rockets, playing less than a third of the snaps on offense. Smith-Njigba appeared in 23 snaps, while Fleming was in for 18.

That’s according to Ohio State’s snap count totals as tracked by Pro Football Focus.
