STATE COLLEGE (AP) — Penn State sophomore Mark Rubin broke his right collar bone and will likely miss the rest of preseason camp.
Rubin was injured while diving for a ball in practice on Monday, the first day of drills. He will not need surgery and is expected to miss about four weeks, a team spokesman said Thursday.
Penn State opens its season Sept. 2 against Akron.
The 6-foot-3 Rubin is attempting to return from a dislocated right ankle sustained in preseason practice last year, which forced him to miss the entire 2005 campaign. He is being considered for a move to defensive back this season after catching 16 balls for 187 yards as a receiver his freshman season two years ago.
The 2006 Nittany Lions have depth at wideout, but lost all four members of last year’s starting secondary.
