Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn will sit out the Senior Bowl with a minor knee injury.
Quinn will still travel to Mobile for the game, an audition for senior NFL prospects, Senior Bowl spokesman Vic Knight told the Press-Register of Mobile.
Knight said Friday he didn’t know which knee was injured or how the injury occurred.
Quinn was examined at Dr. James Andrews’ office in Birmingham, Ala., Knight said, and was advised not to play in the Jan. 27 game.

Kentucky recruit John Keye of Georgia was killed in a weekend car crash, the second such loss in about a year for the Wildcats.
The Georgia State Patrol says Keye was a passenger in a car that was involved in a one-vehicle wreck Saturday afternoon near his hometown of Jackson.
Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks said Keye was one of the school’s earliest commitments and was excited about going to Kentucky.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound wide receiver was an honorable mention to the Georgia Sports Writers Association’s Class Triple-A all-state football team last month. He planned to sign a letter of intent on Feb. 7.
Chris Mosby, who attended high school in Tennessee and had committed to play at Kentucky, was killed in a car wreck on Dec. 31, 2005.

Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm is expected to be available for spring practice following surgery on his non-throwing shoulder.
Brohm threw for 3,049 yards and 16 touchdowns last season despite injuring his left shoulder before the season began and aggravating it in Louisville’s 24-13 win over Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 2.
Team spokesman Rocco Gasparro said the surgery was “minor” and that Brohm will participate when the Cardinals begin spring practice.
