Ohio State will be without Nick Bosa when the Buckeyes face Tulane on Saturday after he left the game against TCU with an injury, Urban Meyer announced on Monday.

“He will not play this week," Meyer said during his Monday press conference. "He's receiving further tests on an abdominal and groin issue.”

Through three games, Bosa was a defensive force for the Buckeyes, totaling four sacks, six tackles for loss and 14 total tackles while also recovering a fumble for a touchdown and forcing a fumble resulting in a touchdown.

Bosa is one of the top defensive linemen and overall players in the country and is expected to be a top-five pick, or even No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
