LOS ANGELES (AP) -Southern California cornerback T.J. Bryant has undergone surgery on his left cheekbone after getting into a fight with teammate Stanley Havili last week.
Bryant had surgery Thursday and will be out for at least three weeks, according to coach Lane Kiffin.
Bryant and Havili scuffled last Friday during a conditioning workout before the official start of training camp. Havili is the Trojans’ senior fullback and a team leader, and he apparently confronted Bryant during an intense drill.
Kiffin says he wasn’t happy to learn about the incident, but initially thought Bryant wasn’t seriously injured. USC’s doctors recommended surgery Wednesday after studying X-rays.
Bryant, a junior, is expected to compete for a starting job.
