Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard will miss an extended period of time with an undisclosed injury, coach Matt Campbell announced Wednesday. According to ESPN and other outlets, Campbell said the injury is "not season-ending," though the medical staff expects Howard to be sidelined for a while.

Howard, a sophomore, has been Penn State's leading receiver during the team's 3-0 start. One outlet reported the injury occurred last Saturday against Buffalo. The timing is significant for the Nittany Lions as they prepare for what CBS Sports characterized as a crucial stretch of their Big Ten schedule, with Wisconsin on tap this weekend.
