From staff reports
Strongsville senior wide receiver D.J. Woods underwent medical exams Tuesday afternoon for what doctors believe is a tumor in his lower back.
The results of a nerve conduction velocity test - used to detect nerve injury - won't be known until Thursday morning.
"We don't know how much nerve damage there is, if any," Woods' mother, Kelly Woods, said.
After the test results come back, Woods will undergo surgery.
"We were hoping he'd have the operation done sometime this week," said Kelly Woods. "However, it now appears he won't have the surgery until next week."
Woods, a 6-0, 180-pound Nebraska recruit, didn't play in the Mustangs' last two games. He has caught 38 passes for 745 yards and five touchdowns in five games. It is unlikely Woods could return to action even if the Mustangs qualify for the playoffs.
