Not a big deal I think.  Meniscus tears are a quick fix and rehab is a snap.  Just too bad it will set back some of his practice time.

It really depends on what the surgeon finds.  If they are just doing a trim, he is back pretty quickly.  If they need to do a repair he will be out much longer

Already getting knee surgery one preseason game into his NFL career?

Doesn't sound great.

If its the meniscus more than a month. Almost every athlete has the meniscus clean up.

Again, it can be two different types of surgeries

Meniscus in all surgeries is less intensive than full ligament reconstructions by far.

You were 100% right. And again a reminder is fans shouldn't ever speculate on medical diagnoses.

Wow. Thats a rough start to a career.  Essentially pushes his rookie campaign back a year.  Vikings fans must feel like they had the wind knocked out of them.

It also shows Giant fans shouldn't be so harsh on medical and training staffs as every team is dealing with injuries.

It's a violent sport and anyone can get injured at any time.
