Ohio St. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba may be on plays limit vs. Penn St.

Ohio State star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba did not reinjure his left hamstring or sustain any other setback in last Saturday's win against Iowa, and he is on track to play this week at No. 13 Penn State, Buckeyes coach Ryan Day said.

Smith-Njigba, a third-team AP All-America selection in 2021, has been limited since injuring his hamstring in the first half of Ohio State's season opener against Notre Dame. He left the Iowa game in the second quarter after running a deep route along the sideline. Smith-Njigba was seen limping after the play, and did not return.
