Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on a citation for operating a vehicle while impaired.
The clerk's office said he wouldn't have to attend Tuesday's arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus.
The 20-year-old Barrett was cited for the misdemeanor at a Columbus police checkpoint Oct. 31, during the Buckeyes' off week. Police say a breath test showed his blood-alcohol content was above the legal limit.
Coach Urban Meyer has said Barrett told him he didn't believe he was impaired. Barrett's attorney hasn't responded to messages.
Barrett was suspended for the second-ranked Buckeyes' victory over Minnesota on Saturday. But Meyer has said Barrett will practice this week and could regain the starting job, which was filled by Cardale Jones against the Gophers.
