Oxford, MS (Sports Network) - Ole Miss sophomore defensive tackle Ted Laurent underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee, the team announced Tuesday.
"We hated the injury happed to Ted, but we're glad the surgery has fixed the problem," Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt said. "We can't wait to have him back on the field with us."
The 6-foot, 303-pounder saw action in seven games as a true freshman last season and was expected to start at nose tackle this season for the Rebels. There is no set timetable for his return.

Not to worry...a torn meniscus isn't a big deal. He should recover quickly.

It's a big deal to folks who just have to walk... it's a HUGE deal when you have to run. I hope he gets better soon.badmotorfinger wrote:Not to worry...a torn meniscus isn't a big deal. He should recover quickly.

Had he damaged one of the major ligaments in his knee he would have been out for the year and possibly for his career. With a torn meniscus he'll miss some practice time. No its not that big of a deal.RebelConvert wrote:It's a big deal to folks who just have to walk... it's a HUGE deal when you have to run.

2-4 work recovery time I believe. He will probably be out Memphis and maybe one more.
Actually it depends on the extent of the tear. If they had to remove 50% of his meniscus then it is going to be a longer recovery. If it was a slight tear and they only had to remove 10% or less then it may not be that long a recovery. If they on had to remove a small piece that folded he could be back in a week or two.badmotorfinger wrote:Had he damaged one of the major ligaments in his knee he would have been out for the year and possibly for his career.

I had a scope 2 years ago for a meniscus tear. Immobilizer for 4 weeks and crutches for 6. Doctor told me that had the MRI shown the true extent of the damage to the meniscus, he would not have scoped it.rebeloke wrote:Actually it depends on the extent of the tear.

Hopefully, Ted's is a relatively straight-forward repair.
You've just got to learn from the wrong things you've done. I came off the rebound, started looking around, figured out it's time to have a little fun.
