Ohio State Buckeyes: Top receiver out for Nebraska game

Ohio State will be without one of its best players Saturday at Nebraska.

The school announced Saturday morning Garrett Wilson will miss the game against the Cornhuskers because of an unidentified injury.

He is the only starter on the team’s pregame status report, though Harry Miller is also out again. Miller entered the season as the projected starter at center but has been out most of the fall with an unidentified health issue.

In a positive development, Master Teague III is available after the running back missed last week’s game against Penn State.

Wilson, who is also the Buckeyes’ primary punt returner, leads Ohio State in receptions (43) and receiving yards (687). He ranks third in the Big Ten in both categories.

He is second in the conference in touchdown catches (six), three behind teammate Chris Olave.

Wilson’s absence likely means more snaps for sophomore Julian Fleming and true freshmen Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.
