Nelson had been starting at left guard for Penn State after Landon Tengwall was forced to medically retire before the season started.
On Tuesday, Penn State head coach James Franklin said that expected JB Nelson back this season but did not expand on a timetable for his return.
Franklin complimented Vega Ioane in Nelson’s absence saying the redshirt freshman was “playing really well.”
In arguably the best news for the Nittany Lions all week, Franklin confirmed after practice Wednesday that Nelson will be available and play against Ohio State.
