Los Angeles • Southern California quarterback J.T. Daniels will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament and the meniscus in his right knee during the Trojans’ opener.
Coach Clay Helton confirmed the severity of his sophomore starter’s injury Sunday night. USC (1-0) plans to start freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis against Stanford (1-0) at the Coliseum on Saturday.
Daniels will redshirt this season, Helton said. With an estimated nine to 12 months of recovery from surgery, Daniels could be ready for camp next year.
“He will be missed, but we will have to move forward, and we wish him nothing but the best,” Helton said.
