The Ohio State quarterback is forced to leave the game versus Penn State due to an injury

After being stopped just in front of the goal line late in the third quarter, Ohio State backup quarterback Devin Brown was helped off the field by the Buckeyes’ training crew.

Brown was tackled by a swarm of defenders directly in front of the goal line. With the assistance of several trainers, he walked gingerly off the field and into Ohio State’s medical tent.

Brown suffered a right ankle sprain on the play, according to FOX. Later, he was dragged off the field and led to the Ohio State locker room.

Brown had been used as a short-yardage quarterback for Ohio State, and recorded five rushing yards on two carries Saturday against Penn State.

Heading into Saturday’s matchup against Penn State, brown had completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also had 17 carries for 30 yards and a rushing touchdown in four previous game.
