MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Minnesota wide receiver Eric Decker will have surgery to fix torn ligaments in his left foot, ending his college career and complicating his status for the NFL draft.

Decker confirmed his decision before Saturday's game against Michigan State. He will have the operation next Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C., with specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.

Decker says he won't be able to run for another five months. He'll need eight months of rehabilitation before he's at full speed. That means he won't be able to participate in the scouting combine before the draft.

Decker is Minnesota's all-time leading receiver with 3,119 yards. He was hurt last week at Ohio State.
