Including the Penn State matchup, Henderson has missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury.
Last week against the Nittany Lions, the Buckeyes turned to Miyan Williams, who rushed 24 times for 62 yards and a touchdown. The week before that running back depth was even worse with Chip Traynum getting injured early on, forcing the Bucks to turn to red-shirt candidate Dallan Hayden, who rushed 11 times for 76 yards and a score.
Denzel Burke, who is the Buckeyes' top corner, also missed the game vs. Penn State. Burke was injured in the third quarter against Purdue and limped off the field.
After being taken to the medical tent, he did not return to the game. Burke has eight tackles, an interception and a forced fumble this season.
Egbuka, meanwhile was injured in the team's 37-17 win over Maryland and missed the Purdue matchup as well.
Even after missing the last two games, as well as some time vs. Maryland, Egbuka is the team's second-leading receiver with 22 catches for 303 yards and three touchdowns.
