Kyle Parker misses Ohio State game against Texas due to injury

Ohio State wide receiver Kyle Parker is not expected to play in Saturday night's game against Texas. Parker missed the Buckeyes' season opener against Ball State and remains sidelined with an undisclosed injury. His absence occurs as No. 1 Ohio State prepares to face No. 4 Texas in a matchup between two teams that previously defeated Ball State and Texas State to start the season. Julian Sayin will lead the Ohio State offense alongside Jeremiah Smith as the team faces the Texas defense. The LSU transfer was expected to provide a field-stretching threat to the Buckeyes' receiving corps once healthy. Official status updates from the team regarding the duration of his absence have not been provided.
