No starters are out for Ohio State beyond the done-for-the-season Josh Simmons, but the Buckeyes will be short some depth at a couple of positions.
Defensive end Mitchell Melton and cornerback Aaron Scott Jr., backups at their respective spots, are out against the Wildcats. Star defensive tackle Tyleik Williams is expected to return after missing last week's contest against Purdue.
