UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton plans to travel to the Fiesta Bowl with his teammates as he continues to make good progress from a devastating leg injury he suffered last month.

His mother, Teresa, tweeted that Milton underwent an ultrasound that was "music to our hearts" and had a fourth surgery Thursday.

His father, Mark, said the ultrasound showed improvement on the nerve that was damaged as a result of the injury, and blood flow in the leg is good.

Milton took a helmet to his right knee against USF in late November, causing nerve damage and a dislocated knee. His father said more surgery would take place in January.
