Teague is second on the fifth-ranked Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) this season with 43 carries and third with 245 rushing yards. The junior from Tennessee earned second-team All-Big Ten honors last season and was third-team all-league in 2019.
With Teague out, Ohio State will lean heavily on freshman TreVeyon Henderson, redshirt freshman Miyan Williams and freshman Evan Pryor against Penn State (5-2, 2-2). Those three youngsters the only non-quarterbacks to carry the ball for the Buckeyes in last week’s 54-7 win over Indiana.
Henderson leads Ohio State with 693 yards and 11 TDs on the ground this season, while Williams is second with 309 rushing yards.
A junior who started last year at left guard, Miller will miss his sixth game of the season.
