Penn State TE Breneman likely needs knee surgery, expected to miss season

Penn State tight end Adam Breneman likely needs surgery on an old knee injury and he's expected to miss this season, a source tells FOX Sports.

The former five-star recruit, a sophomore, suffered the injury back in high school and has been dealing with nagging problems with it since. Tight end is PSU's deepest position and Breneman does have a redshirt season to use.

Breneman had 15 receptions for 186 yards and three touchdowns in 2013. 

The news that Breneman is expected to miss the season was first reported by the Patriot-News.
