Sources close to Ohio State have informed Bucknuts/247Sports that Buckeyes' QB Braxton Miller has been fully cleared to throw the football as of this past Monday (June 8) with no limitations on his surgically repaired shoulder.

The news comes on the heels of reports that Miller had a "minor setback" a few weeks ago during workouts, having a little bit of pain in his throwing shoulder. Sources have confirmed that it was nothing more than some normal soreness, and since then Urban Meyer has come out and stated that he expects Miller to be healthy and ready to compete for the starting quarterback job this year.

Miller suffered his initial injury in January 2014 against Clemson in the Orange Bowl and re-injured his shoulder in a non-contact drill last August during pre-season camp.

While the news that Miller can begin throwing with no limitations is certainly encouraging, it doesn't necessarily mean that the fifth year senior will be the Buckeyes' starter behind center when the team kicks-off against Virginia Tech on September 7 in Blacksburg.

Miller will still have to compete with Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett throughout the summer and into camp in August, but the sources contributing to this report believe that the job is "Miller's to lose" granted he is fully healthy and performing as expected.

Bucknuts will continue to provide updates on Miller's progress and the Ohio State quarterback situation.
