If all three aren’t able to suit up for the Buckeyes, it would be a big blow to the offense and defense. There was some good news, however as Henderson was later changed to a game-time decision, according to an Ohio State official.

Henderson leads the team in rushing (295) while Egbuka is third in receiving yards (303) behind Cade Stover and Marvin Harrison Jr. Burke has played in six games this season with 8 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception.

This will be the biggest test for Ohio State thus far with undefeated Penn State coming to town. Drew Allar has looked good in his first season as the starter, but he hasn’t played in an environment like The Horseshoe yet.

Stay tuned for more Ohio State injury updates ahead of kickoff. Game time is set for noon ET on FOX.
