Early exit with shoulder injuryDread exited Tuesday's matchup against Illinois in the first half with a shoulder injury, Jeremy Werner of 247 Sports reports.
ImpactDread was limited to six points and his second-lowest minutes total of the year with 12. In his absence, Myreon Jones led the Nittany Lions with 20 points, while Sam Sessoms logged 24 minutes off the bench (though he went scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting). Dread should be considered a game-time call Thursday against Rutgers as Penn State looks to pick up its first win in conference play.
