Pre-season All-Big 12 pick Kevin Peterson will miss at least two weeks after undergoing knee surgery, according to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy.

Gundy said Peterson should be in the starting lineup when Oklahoma State plays at Central Michigan.

"Kevin Peterson got a small knee (injury)," Gundy told The Tulsa World. "They took him in and did a scope on him. (Team doctors) weren’t sure if they needed to or not, but they decided to go ahead and do it. He’ll be out for a couple of weeks. We’ll bring him back at kind of a slow pace. It gives (Darius) Curry and (Michael) Hunter more work, which is fine.”

Peterson had 11 break-ups last season and two interceptions. He also had an interception in the 30-22 win over Washington in the Cactus Bowl.
