Don't read too much into the headline, sophomore WR Robert Woods will be just fine.
On Monday, the 2011 Biletnikoff Award finalist had arthroscopic surgery to repair his right ankle, which had been plaguing the All-American dating back to a non-football related injury he suffered in April.
In spite of injuries to his right ankle, shoulder and elbow, the top-flight wideout put up elite numbers in his sophomore campaign, breaking Keyshawn Johnson's single-season conference record for most catches in a season with 111 receptions to go along with 1,292 receiving yards and 15 TDs. Among his other impressive feats in 2011, Woods set USC's single-game receptions record with 17 in the Trojans' 19-17 victory over Minnesota. He also set a personal best for yards in a game, with 255 in USC's high-scoring 48-41 affair with Arizona.
After his surgery, Woods took to his Twitter account to let all of his well-wishers know that the surgery had gone successfully.
Woods' timetable to return is anywhere from 4-6 weeks, which means in all likelihood he will suit up when the Trojans begin Spring Ball.
