PULLMAN — Jeshua Anderson, the NCAA 400-meter hurdles champion who was expected to play a prominent role on the Washington State football team, will be sidelined for at least six weeks after hernia surgery.
The sophomore wide receiver discovered the hernia last week and the operation was performed Monday.
Anderson's recovery time is expected to be six to eight weeks.
That means he would miss at least the first four games of the season — against Oklahoma State, California, Baylor and Portland State. The Cougars begin their season Aug. 30 at Qwest Field against Oklahoma State.
Anderson played in all 12 games as a freshman, catching 12 passes for 372 yards, averaging 31 yards.
As a member of the WSU track team, he won the NCAA men's 400 hurdles in a school-record 48.69 seconds this year.
