Though the extent of the injury is unknown prior to the procedure, Cannon is expected to recover in time for Baylor's season opener on Sept. 2 against Northwestern State.

According to HealthLine.com, an arthroscopy is "a surgical technique that can diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint." The procedure will look for problems "such as a torn meniscus or a misaligned patella" and could possibly be used to "repair the ligaments of the joint."

In his first two seasons at Baylor, Cannon caught 108 passes for 1,898 yards and 14 touchdowns. Cannon is expected to be Baylor's leading receiver in 2016.
