Ohio State football is likely to be without two key wide receivers for the second straight game.
Senior Brandon Inniss and freshman Brock Boyd were downgraded to doubtful in the latest availability report for the Nov. 7 game against Oregon. Both missed the 30-18 loss to USC and were listed as questionable in this week’s initial injury report, released by the Big Ten on Nov. 4.
