Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be unavailable for the fifth time this season and Cameron Brown will miss his fourth game in the last five against Penn State.
After suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener, Smith-Njigba played in just one of the next five games before returning to action against Iowa following the bye week. But after catching just one pass for seven yards, Smith-Njigba left the game in the second quarter noticeably favoring his injured leg.
“He’s always been trying to get back out there. He’s a competitor and it’s been hard for him to not be out there more,”. “But we wanted to make sure that we kept that number at around about 20 and make sure we didn’t put him out there anymore.” Also out for the Buckeyes this week is starting cornerback Cameron Brown, who will miss his fourth game of the last five as he continues to deal with injury issues. Brown last played against Michigan State before the Buckeye bye week. JK Johnson started in Brown's absence against Iowa, and fellow second-year cornerback Jordan Hancock is also a candidate to play significant snaps after making his season debut against Iowa.
