Pryor had surgery on injured knee

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor underwent surgery on his right knee earlier this week, team spokeswoman Shelly Poe told The Lantern.

Pryor played the second half of the season with a partial tear of his posterior cruciate ligament. He originally suggested that the injury occurred in his left knee, but the surgery was conducted on his right knee.

"He had a routine arthroscopic procedure performed on his right knee," Poe said. "Good news is everything checked out fine and he should make a quick recovery."

Pryor is expected to return to health in time for spring practices, which begin April 1.

The sophomore threw for a career-high 266 yards in leading the Buckeyes to a 26-17 Rose Bowl victory over Oregon.
