The Buckeyes will be shorthanded at wide receiver and cornerback in their Big Ten opener.
Star wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba and starting corner Cameron Brown have both been ruled out of Saturday's 7:30 p.m. matchup with Wisconsin, as 10 total Ohio State players will be unavailable against the Badgers.
