Ohio State drops Michigan availability report. What about Smith, Tate?

By far the biggest pregame storyline surrounding this year's Ohio State vs. Michigan game is the injury status of star OSU receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. After all, their ability to play -- and do so in an effective manner -- should have a significant impact on who wins the game Saturday.

And while we've had some encouraging signs leading up to the game, including the duo making the travel roster to The Game, we knew we'd get a better idea when Ohio State released its weekly player availability and injury report Saturday. We just received that, and both Smith and Tate are listed as questionable for the game.

So, we still don't won't really know until we see if the two take the field (or not) when we see them go through warmups and either run out on offense or not. In addition to Smith and Tate, back we were looking for a status on Lorenzo Styles Jr., and he looks to be available.

Here's the complete Ohio State football availability and injury report for the Michigan game. It looks like OSU is fairly healthy otherwise.
