Ohio State wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate are expected to play against No. 15 Michigan on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor, Mich., ESPN reported.
Smith and Tate have been nursing undisclosed injuries. The former sat out last week’s 42-9 victory over Rutgers after sustaining the injury versus UCLA on Nov. 15, while the latter was hurt in a game against Penn State on Nov. 1.
Smith is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which goes to the NCAA’s outstanding receiver. Smith has 69 receptions for 902 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Tate has 39 catches for 711 yards and seven scores.
The top-ranked Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) will try to end a four-game losing streak to Michigan (9-2, 7-1).
