Expected to start Saturday Poulos (head) is expected to start Saturday's game versus Central Michigan, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Poulos, who's missed the last three games due to a concussion, is expected to make his return to the field versus Central Michigan. He will need to clear the final hurdles of concussion protocol, but he's expected to do so and to start for the Bobcats for the first time since Week 2.

Practices while in protocol Poulos practiced last week but was not cleared through protocol in time to play Saturday, Cam Robertson of the Athens Messenger reports.

Impact This suggests Poulos is progressing in his recovery from the head injury, but his availability will continue to hinge on clearing protocol. Ohio has turned to Matt Vezza and Levi Davis while Poulos remains sidelined.

Not starting vs. Kent State Poulos (head) is not starting under center for Ohio during Saturday's game against Kent State, per Ty Carpenter of Bobcat Showcase.

Impact Poulos was questionable prior to kickoff and it appears the quarterback suited up, but Matt Vezza was the first quarterback to take snaps under center. It is uncertain if Poulos will see the field against Kent State.

Questionable vs. Kent State Poulos (head) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game at Kent State, MAC availability report.

Impact Poulos has missed two consecutive games for Ohio due to a head injury he suffered in Week 2, and his status remains uncertain prior to kickoff Saturday. The quarterback's availability will presumably be based on his activity during warmups. If he is unable to play once again, Matt Vezza will start under center.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for Week 4 Poulos (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Stonehill, per the MAC availability report.

Impact Poulos will miss his second straight game as he continues to recover from an undisclosed injury he sustained in Week 2. In his absence, Matt Vezza should be the starter under center. The quarterback will aim to return next Saturday against Kent State.

Out vs. South Alabama Poulos (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at South Alabama, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.

Impact Poulos will sit out his first game of the season after suffering a late hit against Jacksonville State last week. Ohio will turn to New Hampshire transfer Matt Vezza to man the helm at quarterback, but true freshman Levi Davis is also expected to take snaps. Poulos will continue to recover and aim to return against Stonehill next Saturday.

Questionable for Week 3 Poulos (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at South Alabama, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Poulos suffered a Week 2 injury against Jacksonville State because of a late hit from a defensive player, which explains his questionable status going into Week 3. If the senior cannot go, his backup is Matt Vezza (undisclosed), also injured mid-game Week 2 but entering Saturday's game probable. Poulos has not proven to be an excellent option under center just yet, so it is imperative that he makes himself available to give himself a shot at maintaining the team's QB1 role.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game after hit Poulos left Saturday's game against Jacksonville State after suffering a late hit, Thomas Ashworth of AL.com reports.

Impact The hit explains why Poulos was limited to just five pass attempts against Jacksonville State. In his place was Matt Vezza, and the replaced quarterback will be questionable going into Week 3 at South Alabama. Poulos showed decent promise after logging multiple touchdowns and zero turnovers back in Week 1 at Nebraska.

Impact Poulos may have the slight edge in the battle for the Bobcats' QB1, but others are reportedly nipping at his heels and the competition is far from over. Poulos, who has just 290 career passing yards at Ohio, is trying to stave off Matt Vezza and Levi Davis.

Questionable for bowl game Poulos is listed as questionable for Tuesday's bowl game against UNLV.

Impact Poulos is at risk of missing Ohio's bowl game. However, even if he's healthy, it's unlikely he'd see the field, as starting QB Parker Navarro is healthy and playing. If Poulos doesn't play, Tim Carpenter would likely step in as the Bobcats' No. 2 QB.
