Beanie Wells to miss another game
Beanie Wells’ injured foot is getting better, but the Ohio State running back will sit out Saturday’s game against Troy, coach Jim Tressel said on his radio show Thursday.
The junior All-American hasn’t played since the third quarter of the Aug. 29 season-opener against Youngstown State.
“Beanie had a real good workout Tuesday, and we were interested in seeing how he came back Wednesday,” Tressel said. “And then Wednesday, his work was even more and he felt better than he did.
“I’d like to think it won’t be long (before he’s back), but no promises. I can’t promise we’ll have him in a couple weeks.”
As for the quarterback situation, Tressel said freshman Terrelle Pryor is taking 60 percent of the snaps with the first-team offense in practice, while senior Todd Boeckman is getting the other 40.
“We expect it to be a fairly even balance (against Troy). But what happens during the course of the game can dictate a change one way or the other,” Tressel said.
Left guard Steve Rehring is expected to miss several games with a foot injury. Tressel said eight players have been rotating at the five linemen spots, and one option for the Buckeyes is to put center Jim Cordle at guard with freshmen Michael Brewster taking Cordle’s spot.
