Ohio State quarterback Will Howard's unusual-looking hand injury sparks concern on social media

Social media erupted over the bizarre-looking injury as the lump seemed to grow larger. 

ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe said during the broadcast that Howard did not receive any treatment for the lump during that game. After Ohio State's victory, ESPN's Jake Trotter reported that Howard told him his hand is "just fine." 

Howard was 24-of-33 passing for 289 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Now in his first season with the Buckeyes after entering the transfer portal last season, Howard has given Ohio State a chance to win its first national title in over a decade.
