Purdue wide receiver Selwyn Lymon can't catch a break: Lymon arrived at a hospital about 2:45 a.m. with a stab wound to the upper chest and told medical workers that he was attacked at a near-campus nightclub, said John Walker, deputy chief of West Lafayette Police Department. Lymon, 20, of Fort Wayne, was in stable condition before going to surgery at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Lafayette, police said. An updated condition was not immediately available from hospital officials.Lymon doesn't appear to be in any serious trouble but -- stab wounds to the chest not being a common athletic injury outside of Thailand and people who've crossed Ray Lewis -- no prognosis is immediately available.
If Lymon is unavailable early in the season, it would be a blow to the Boilermaker's admittedly vague hopes for a big year. Notre Dame fans, though obviously concerned for the young man's well-being, might say a little prayer he and his 238 receiving yards -- a Notre Dame opponent record -- are absent for this fall's Purdue game.
