WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue wide receiver Selwyn Lymon was expected to be released from the hospital later this week as he recovers from being stabbed in the chest.

The university said in a release Monday that Lymon was in satisfactory condition. Lymon was stabbed last week during a fight at a night club.

"While there are still a number of unanswered questions that surround this matter, we are relieved that Selwyn is on his way to making a complete recovery," coach Joe Tiller said in the release.

"His well-being always has been our primary concern. I will meet with him as soon as he is released from the hospital."

Tiller said he was considering possible disciplinary measures against Lymon, who started 12 games as a sophomore last season, after he was stabbed March 30. The stabbing is being investigated by police.

Lymon was originally listed in critical condition.

Safety Torri Williams was arrested on a drunken driving charge less than an hour after Lymon was stabbed and was identified in police records as having been with Lymon and at least one other player during the fight. He was indefinitely suspended from the team.

Tiller said he would have no further comment on Lymon or Williams pending new developments. He previously said any Purdue players who were at the bar fight could face disciplinary action.
