Dereck Knight, the Brown tailback from Pawtucket who rushed for 208 yards against Duquesne, tore a tendon in his left great toe on his first carry in the Harvard game last Saturday night and will miss the rest of the college football season. Knight said yesterday that he expects to have surgery in the next two weeks. For now he is wearing a special boot that protects and immobilizes the toe.

A senior, Knight could apply to the Ivy League for a medical redshirt if he wants to play in 2008. In that case he would have to take the spring semester off and return to school next fall.

Brown and the University of Rhode Island will play for the 92nd time Saturday afternoon at Brown Stadium.
