Jim Tressel said in today's press conference that Chris Wells will be kept out of this Saturday's game, but expected him to return to practice in the next couple of days.

(**see below for updates to this post) It's totally second-hand and unofficial, but supposedly, a member of the OSU medical team used the phrase "turf toe" when questioned by a reporter about Wells' foot. The discussion occurred in the background of Jim Tressel's after-game press conference.
Replays of Beanie's injury certainly ...
