One of the reasons OSU has struggled is the absence of Tres Tinkle. He was initially expected to be out 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist, but with the injury now hitting the 10-week mark, he was placed in a hard cast earlier this week.
The Beavers are expecting to give Tinkle 2-3 weeks in the hard cast before reevaluation. If the injury is deemed season-ending, he would be eligible for a medical redshirt because he didnβt play in more than 30 percent of OSUβs games and none after the halfway point of the season.Β
