Per Ohio State, sophomore safety Vonn Bell suffered an MCL sprain Tuesday that required surgery and will shelve him for the remainder of spring practice.

Bell was a ballyhooed recruit in 2013 and showed promise during his first career start in the Orange Bowl. This spring was supposed to provide a showcase for Bell and his ballhawking skills. Cam Burrows is the next man up in his absence.

Bell should be on schedule to participate in Ohio State's summer conditioning.
