Why Isn’t Brandon Inniss Playing Today? Injury News Impacts Ohio State WR Depth Chart

Ohio State wide receiver **Brandon Inniss** will miss Saturday’s matchup against Maryland after being ruled out with an unspecified injury, less than two hours before kickoff. The Buckeyes had listed him as questionable during the week, then doubtful on Friday, before confirming his absence on game day.

Inniss, who has recorded 10 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown in five games this season, is a key depth piece behind star receiver Jeremiah Smith. His absence forces Ohio State to rely more heavily on younger options like freshman Chris Henry Jr., Brock Boyd, and Phillip Bell, who may see increased playing time in a three-wide formation.

The Buckeyes also have a deep roster of running backs, including Bo Jackson and Ja’Kobi Jackson, who could contribute in the passing game against Maryland’s defense. Ohio State’s injury report lists 12 players out for the game, a notable number that suggests workload management ahead of bigger contests later in the season.
