Paterno to remain in hospital as precaution Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joe Paterno will stay in the hospital at least through Wednesday, and possibly longer, as a precautionary step in the Penn State coach's recovery from left leg surgery. The 79-year-old coach was in good condition Tuesday night at Mount Nittany Medical Center and had not had any complications from the operation, said Guido D'Elia, a team spokesman. Doctors were being "extra-cautious" and would take it day-to-day in determining when he could be released, D'Elia said. The feisty Paterno, eager to get home, "has not been the best rehab patient," D'Elia said. Paterno still wants to return to practice, and missing Saturday's game against Temple "was not a consideration" for him, D'Elia said. Doctors operated Sunday on Paterno to repair a fractured shin bone and two torn knee ligaments in the left leg. The 41-year head coaching veteran was walloped along the sideline on Saturday by two players in the second half of Penn State's loss to Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions have pressed on without him, though practice has been a little quieter. "For the last three years that I've been up here, he's been up and down the field yelling at us," center A.Q. Shipley said Tuesday. "Not hearing the voice is different." Paterno has been studying scouting reports and game plans from his hospital bed, giving assistants an earful over the phone and reviewing practice tapes. Click below to read rest of article: ESPN |
