Braxton Miller has successful visit with Dr. Andrews; will announce plans next week
Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer offered an update on the health status of two of his three quarterbacks Wednesday, saying Braxton Miller "is pretty close to full speed," and J.T. Barrett is "close to 95 percent."
Miller took to Twitter later in the night to present his own update following a checkup with orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

Miller missed the entirety of the 2014 season after suffering a torn labrum in his right shoulder in preseason camp, but all signs point to him being healthy by August, in time to compete for the starting quarterback job with Barrett and Cardale Jones.
Rumors have swirled that Miller will seek out a transfer for his final year of college eligibility. As a graduate, he has the option to transfer to another school and play immediately.
While Meyer has stated he expects Miller back, the player himself has never let his intentions be known.
Asked about his plans for this upcoming season, Miller told Tim May of The Columbus Dispatch that he expects to announce his immediate plans next week.
Ohio State opens the regular season against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7.
