Third-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is among 10 Buckeyes deemed unavailable on No. 3 Ohio State’s status report for Saturday’s Big Ten-opener against Wisconsin.
Smith-Njigba will miss his second game of the season after dealing with a leg injury. He suffered the ailment in the first quarter against then-No. 5 Notre Dame Sept. 3.
Graduate cornerback Cameron Brown will also be held out of the Buckeyes’ conference-opener. It’ll be the first game missed this season for Brown, who recorded five tackles against Arkansas State Sept. 10 and a pass defended versus Toledo.
Head coach Ryan Day said Tuesday that second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to play against the Badgers. Henderson appeared to deal with a foot issue against Toledo Sept. 17, entering the locker room in the first half and being held to the second-fewest carries in his Buckeye career with four.
