University of Louisville freshman receiver Michaelee Harris suffered a torn posterior cruciate knee ligament in practice on Monday and his availability for this season is uncertain.
“If he's not able to play he will redshirt, but I don't know the time frame of when he'll be back,”
UofL coach Charlie Strong said.
Typically, a PCL injury can be treated without surgery — depending on the severity of the tear — but rehabilitation could keep Harris sidelined at least a month.
Harris, a 6-foot, 184-pound Miami native, was among several true freshmen with a chance to be in the rotation immediately, according to offensive coordinator Mike Sanford. His absence could pave the way for true freshmen Jarrett Davis and Kai Dominguez or redshirt freshman Damian Copeland to step forward.
All of the news wasn't bad for the Cards, who learned that linebacker Jordan Campbell has been cleared to practice, though not yet cleared to play.
Campbell, who signed with UofL last month, transferred from USC and has two years of eligibility left. He left the school after it was hit with NCAA sanctions and will not have to sit out a year.
