STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) Linebacker Nyeem Wartman-White will miss the remainder of the season with a right knee injury, Penn State coach James Franklin announced Tuesday.

The senior was hurt midway through Penn State's 34-27 win against Temple on Saturday. Although he was able to hop up, take a few high steps and walk off the field on his own, he did not return to the game and was spotted later with a full brace on his right leg.

It is the second-straight season-ending knee injury for Wartman-White who missed all but three series last season with a torn left ACL.

The Philadelphia native suffered both injuries against the Owls on similar plays, while on the field for punt return.

Franklin says Wartman-White handled the previous setback well, and coaches were working on growing his confidence each week.

Wartman-White missed all but two games during the 2012 season with an injury and was granted a medical redshirt.
