Ohio State could be without three of its top wide receivers against Northwestern on Nov. 14, potentially testing its depth further at the position.
Phillip Bell was listed as questionable alongside Brandon Inniss and Brock Boyd on the Buckeyes’ initial availability report released this week.
Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Phillip Bell (7) makes a catch during the NCAA football game against USC Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Oct. 31, 2026.
The Buckeyes have been short-handed at receiver as Inniss and Boyd have been sidelined by unspecified injuries in recent weeks, including consecutive losses to Oregon and USC.

Bell has been the Buckeyes’ starting slot receiver in place of Inniss and caught three passes for 44 yards against Oregon and USC.
The Buckeyes have not had their full complement of scholarship receivers in any game this season. When LSU transfer Kyle Parker made his season debut following a preseason injury against Maryland on Oct. 10, Inniss was sidelined for the first of three games.
Inniss made an appearance in one of the last four games at Indiana on Oct. 17, but played just 13 snaps and had one reception for 6 yards against the Hoosiers.
