(Sports Network) - Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells
will not play when the third-ranked Buckeyes battle Ohio on Saturday.
"Beanie won't go this week," Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel said Thursday.
I feel good about his progress, but it wasn't enough progress to practice.
Wells suffered a right foot injury during Saturday's season-opening victory
against Youngstown State. He was hurt in the third quarter of the 43-0 rout,
as he appeared to slip on the turf as he was taking a handoff near the goal
line. He was helped off the field and carted into the locker room before
returning to the sideline with a walking boot.
Wells had already run for 111 yards on 13 carries with a 43-yard scoring jaunt
before the injury, notching his 10th career 100-yard game.
A Heisman Trophy candidate, Wells rushed for 1,609 yards and 15 touchdowns as
a sophomore last season.
