LOS ANGELES (AP) – Southern California quarterback Cody Kessler missed part of practice Tuesday to undergo a procedure on one of his toes.

Kessler said he’ll be fine to play when the 14th-ranked Trojans (1-0) visit No. 13 Stanford (1-0) on Saturday.

“I’m 100 percent. I’m fine,” Kessler said. “It was just something bothering me.”

Coach Steve Sarkisian said Kessler was bothered by a toe injury throughout USC’s 52-13 victory over Fresno State last weekend. Kessler was named the Pac-12’s offensive player of the week after passing for a career-best 394 yards with four touchdown passes and another rushing score.

Sarkisian said Kessler couldn’t get the unspecified procedure done on his toe until Tuesday morning.
