Ohio State's weekend continues beyond Columbus. The Sunday, October 11 NFL schedule gives Buckeyes fans four matchups to follow around TreVeyon Henderson, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Marvin Harrison Jr. The ESPN schedule feed, checked October 5, lists the games and kickoff times. Each player's current team roster identifies Ohio State as his college.
Henderson's New England Patriots host the Las Vegas Raiders at 1 p.m. ET. Wilson's New York Jets host the Cleveland Browns at the same time, and Olave's New Orleans Saints host the Minnesota Vikings in another 1 p.m. game. Harrison's Arizona Cardinals meet the Detroit Lions at home at 4:25 p.m. ET. Those times describe the scheduled games; they do not establish that any particular player will be active.
The Buckeye connection is broad enough to support a separate Sunday desk. In its September 1 roster report, [Ohio State counted 58 alumni across 27 NFL 53-man rosters](%s). That was an opening-roster snapshot, not a promise that every player remains available every week. Injuries, transactions, byes and a game's inactive list matter more to a specific Sunday call than the size of the alumni group.
The four featured players also ask fans to think about different kinds of production. A running back's rushing yardage and reception count can move in opposite directions depending on how his offense plays. For a receiver, catches and yards are separate measures: several short completions can clear a reception threshold without producing a big yardage total. A touchdown catch is another event entirely, even on a productive receiving day.
Check the published Sunday card before locking your answers. The question names the player, opponent and statistic that count, and the card states its own deadline. A familiar Ohio State name is a reason to watch, not evidence that a numerical target has already been reached. Once the games finish, use the official final player statistics to judge the calls. Until then, the schedule and roster checks establish the matchups; the performance remains to be played.
