"I met with (head team physician) Mike Moser several days ago, and generally this is a six-week procedure. But he's redoing a procedure, so he said, 'Will, it's probably going to be longer than that,'" Muschamp said of the surgery in which Thompson will have a screw inserted to stabilize the break.

"He knows when I hear something, that's what I go by," Muschamp said. "He didn't want to give me a definite time. It's unfortunate and disappointing, but I think Mike will know more after the surgery Wednesday about the timetable.
