Paterno released from hospital

Penn State coach Joe Paterno was released from the Mount Nittany Medical Center and returned home Tuesday, the university announced in a press release.

The release said Paterno is no longer experiencing hip-related pain, and he will continue his rehabilitation at home. He was expected to be walking by Monday.

Paterno had hip replacement surgery Sunday, one day after Saturday's 49-18 win over Michigan State that clinched a share of the Big Ten championship and likely Rose Bowl berth.

Paterno is expected to resume coaching Monday when players return after Thanksgiving break, the release said.
