Baylor receiver KD Cannon had successful knee surgery Tuesday, and will be ready to practice once the Bears start preseason camp in August, said Heath Nielsen, Baylor associate athletic director for communications.

Cannon injured the medial meniscus in his right knee during offseason workouts and opted to have surgery to clear up the injury.

“Surgery went well,” Cannon tweeted Tuesday afternoon, along with a photo of his bandaged knee.

Cannon should be one of the top targets in Baylor’s passing attack entering his junior year in 2016. In his first two seasons, he earned all-Big 12 recognition both years while totaling 108 catches for 1,898 yards.

Baylor opens the season Sept. 2 at home against Northwestern (La.) State.
