Chris "Beanie" Wells is helped off the field Saturday against Youngstown State. X-rays showed no broken bones in his right foot.
There was no official word on the status of injured Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells yesterday, but he gave a thumbs up to Jamaal Berry.
Berry, one of the top running back prospects in the country, gave a thumbs up to Ohio State by becoming the 25th commitment to its 2009 recruiting class. He also might have gotten the scoop on Wells, whom he saw report to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for treatment on his injured right foot yesterday.
"He said he's going to be OK," said Berry, who was visiting from Miami Palmetto High School. "I asked him how he was doing, and he seemed cool with it. He wasn't down or anything. He was like, 'No problem.'
"I guess he'll be back, if not this week (against Ohio University), he'll be fine by next week" for the trip to No. 3 Southern California.
