Injured his knee, already had surgery. Out 4-6 weeks according to reports.

Hoping he is able to be ready for TCU but it is probably a stretch.

Any time the prognosis for a knee injury ends in "weeks" and not "months", I'm pretty relieved. That sucks for us, obviously, but here's to hoping it's just 4-6 weeks.

Pretty sure it was his meniscus again. A meniscus tear can just be trimmed up with a scope shaver and recover in a few days. When they say 4-6 weeks, probably means a more significant tear where they did a tear repair of sewing the meniscus tear back together through a scope. I'll be impressed if he's back for TCU.

It's obvious you have. I'll remember you if I need some ortho work.

Has to be a meniscus tear then, it should only be a matter of weeks.

If they sewed the tear back together it'd be months before he's back, not weeks.

Bielema just said it's an MCL sprain and he'll be out 3-4 weeks, should be good to go for TCU
