Sayin appeared to sustain the injury after being dumped by Indiana pass-rusher Mario Landino with 8:05 left in the fourth quarter. Sayin's elbow appeared to hyperextend when coming into contact with the onrushing Landino. The Hoosiers lineman jarred the ball loose on the play. However, it landed in Buckeyes' hands.
