Penn State head coach James Franklin announced Wednesday following practice that redshirt junior tailback Journey Brown will no longer be able to play football.
We'll have more coming on this.
"Through internal testing and second opinions, Journey Brown will no longer be able to play football. It was discovered through a routine Covid-19 test, although it is not COVID related. We learned about this in early September and we've been working through this and dealing with this as a team. Journey is one of the most popular and respected players on our team.
"The entire organization has rallied behind Journey and his family. Journey has handled this extremely well, and I know he'll be extremely successful in whatever he decides to do.
"This is something that we found out about in early September and then we were able to go outside and get some second opinions and it was confirmed exactly what our doctors thought here on campus.
"Obviously, that came as a huge blow in September for our team, so I wanted to update you guys on that."
