FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES
Penn State says Joe Paterno was hospitalized and undergoing tests on his right arm and hip after a player ran into him during practice Sunday.
Paterno was admitted Sunday evening to Mount Nittany Medical Center after he walked away from the hit with a receiver who was running a route, the school announced today.
The 84-year-old Paterno said in a statement: "I expect to be back at practice soon. I'm doing fine; tell everyone not to worry about me."
Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State director of athletic medicine, said that it doesn't appear surgery will be required.
The school said this afternoon that Paterno could be released in the next 24 hours.
Paterno conducted this morning's coaches meeting by phone from the hospital, according to Penn State.
Football media day, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed until Aug. 15.
Paterno signed a three-year contract extension in late 2008 that runs out after this season, but Paterno's status at Penn State hardly seems reliant on a contract these days. Penn State has no public plans in place to shift leadership of the program.
