WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue junior-to-be running back Ralph Bolden suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during practice last Wednesday, March 31, and will undergo surgery.
The surgery date has not been determined, and Bolden will be sidelined for the remainder of spring practice. The prognosis for his availability this fall is not known.
“While obviously we are disappointed, we understand that injuries are part of athletics and not something we can control,” Purdue head coach Danny Hope said. “We feel for Ralph as a teammate and member of the Purdue football family more so than we do as a talented running back, and we will support him throughout his recovery. Ralph is a proven battler, and we know he will come back and be a key part of our offense in the future.”
