Ryan Day gives Carnell Tate injury update that will calm Ohio State fans everywhere

Relax Buckeye nation, Carnell Tate is going to be just fine.

The junior wide receiver did not play Saturday against Purdue despite being dressed. There was no word in the first half of why Tate wasn't on the field and his absence was barely acknowledged by the broadcast crew on the Big Ten Network.

Took the BigTen broadcast more than a full quarter to realize Carnell Tate hadn't played yet?
