Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard remains in pause state due to injury

Penn State head coach Matt Campbell reported that star wide receiver Koby Howard is currently in a “pause state” regarding his return to the football field. Howard has missed six games since suffering an injury during a Week 3 victory over Buffalo.

Campbell stated that while the coaching staff is attempting to beat a timeline for Howard's recovery, he refuses to play the receiver until he is 100% healthy. The coach noted that this pause could potentially extend through the end of the regular season or until postseason play.

During his first three games of the season, Howard recorded 12 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns, along with two rushing attempts for 24 yards. He has been listed as questionable in recent weeks before ultimately being ruled out of games.
