Penn State’s Paterno injured in practice collision
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State says coach Joe Paterno is undergoing medical tests on his right arm and hip at a hospital after a player ran into him during practice on Sunday.
The school announced Monday that Paterno walked away from the collision with a receiver who was running a route.
Paterno says in a statement: “I expect to be back at practice soon. I’m doing fine; tell everyone not to worry about me.”
Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State director of athletic medicine, says in a statement that it doesn’t appear surgery will be required.
Penn State says Paterno conducted Monday morning’s coaches meeting by phone from the hospital.
