Weis To Wait For Knee Surgery?

If you were at the Notre Dame game this past weekend, or you got to see the game on TV, then you probably noticed that Coach Charlie Weis had to leave the game for a time in the second quarter. He returned with a brace on his left leg, and completed the game in crutches. Those watching on replay got to see that Weis was taken down by a Notre Dame player when he was inadvertently pushed out of bounds at about the 50 yard line. Weis landed awkwardly on his knee, and reports indicate that he suffers from both a torn medial collateral ligament and a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

It’s uncertain whether Weis will have surgery during the season, but it could happen when the Irish have a BYE week a few weeks from now. Either way, Weis is not planning on having surgery anytime soon, and it’s probably more likely that he’ll go the whole season without going under the knife. Right now Weis is pushing a four-legged cane around, and he’s not very active. He should get better over time, and you can expect that he’ll be on the field this Saturday for the Michigan State game.
