Why Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate aren’t playing today for Ohio State with injury news image

Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate form the best wide receiver duo in the country.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will have to play Saturday without either of them.

OSU takes on Rutgers, one week before The Game against Michigan.

The WRs have both been dealing with injuries, and whether for precaution or more, the Buckeyes have chosen they won't be facing Rutgers.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that they'd both miss out in a post on X on Saturday morning.

Why isn't Jeremiah Smith playing today?

Jeremiah Smith is out for Saturday's game against Rutgers due to what Thamel has termed a "lower-body injury."

Smith is considered day-to-day, per Thamel.

Why isn't Carnell Tate playing today?

Turns out, Tate has the same injury scoop.

Thamel reported that Tate too has a lower-body injury.

Tate is also day-to-day, according to Thamel.
