Temple head coach Al Golden announced that senior LB Elijah “Peanut” Joseph suffered a season-ending knee injury during last Tuesday’s game against Ohio.
The team captain, who played in all 10 games with seven starts at middle linebacker this fall, underwent surgery to his right knee on Monday at Temple University Hospital. Joseph is expected to be ready for spring drills and the NFL Draft.
Additionally, sophomore RB Bernard Pierce (Ardmore, Pa.), who suffered an injury on the opening play against the Bobcats, has continued rehabilitation this week on his left hamstring. He did not make the trip to Oxford, Ohio, but will likely be ready for the Owls’ bowl game.
Temple (8-3, 5-2 MAC) faces Miami [OH] (74-, 6-1) tonight in the regular-season finale for both teams. Kickoff at Yager Stadium is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN2.
