“Patella tendon injury is what they’re telling me, which is not good,” Meyer told reporters via 11W. “It’s a surgery and a season-ending is what I’ve been told. We’ll update further as we know more. And that’s the worst part of this darned game is when a guy gets hurt, especially a guy like that who has committed so much to this team and program. Our prayers are with Tracy.”

Dre’mont Jones, a redshirt freshman and former four-star recruit, is the Buckeyes’ backup defensive tackle.
