TUSCALOOSA - The broken left leg suffered by University of Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro on Saturday will likely require 6-to-12 months of recovery time, orthopedic surgeon Les Fowler said Tuesday.
Asked if Prothro's injury, which included an open fracture of his left tibia and fibula, could be career-ending, Fowler said, "That's possible. But a great majority of time, people recover from this. That's what we expect from Tyrone."
Prothro, 21, remained at DCH Regional Medical Center for the fourth consecutive day Tuesday after he underwent surgery immediately following Alabama's 31-3 victory over Florida on Saturday night. He was expected to be released today or Thursday.
