LaVar Arrington II faces four to six weeks out with knee injury

Penn State defensive end LaVar Arrington II will be sidelined for four to six weeks following a knee injury. Coach Matt Campbell confirmed the recovery timeline, which potentially keeps the sophomore out until the upcoming games against USC and Michigan. Arrington recently transitioned from linebacker to the defensive end position during the offseason. The Nittany Lions' defensive depth at edge rusher has increased with the performance of Caleb Bacon, who transferred from Iowa State. Arrington’s absence comes as the team prepares for its matchup against Temple this week. While earlier accounts suggested the injury required only a minor procedure, Campbell’s timeline indicates a longer rehabilitation period before Arrington can return to the rotation.
