SYRACUSE — Syracuse University football wide receiver/kick returner Jeremiah Kobena will miss at least the next few weeks with an unspecified upper-body injury that required surgery, the school said on Tuesday.

The sophomore has five catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns through two games this season. He averages 19.3 yards per return.
