Injuries continue to pile up in the Ohio State secondary.
Starting Buckeye nickel safety Tanner McCalister left the field with two trainers in the first quarter and went to the medical tent, and reappeared without his helmet thereafter. McCalister missed Ohio State's Week 3 matchup with an injury, and Ronnie Hickman said this past week that the Oklahoma State transfer has been dealing with a groin issue.
With backup nickel safety Cameron Martinez unavailable against Rutgers on Saturday, McCalister was replaced by true freshman safety Kye Stokes, who entered the weekend with just 22 snaps played for the Buckeyes.
