Mark Ingram Has Knee Surgery, Will Miss Season Opener

PrintTalk about the kind of thing you dread seeing happen in a practice preparing for a cupcake:
Alabama's Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Mark Ingram underwent arthroscopic surgery this morning on his left knee, according to a statement by Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.
Ingram will be out for Saturday's game against San Jose State and evaluated on a week-to-week basis after that. Alabama hosts Penn State on Sept. 11 and visits Duke on Sept. 18.
Apparently the injury happened late in practice yesterday, but there is no word just yet on the circumstances surrounding it.
The good news is that Saban made it very clear that this was a minor injury that would allow for a full recovery in a relatively short period of time. Clearly this was something that the coaching staff wanted to go ahead and get done now so Ingram would be 100% healthy once the season really got going. From that perspective, step back from the ledge here. It's a short term loss but a long-term gain in a few weeks, and it's better to see Ingram go ahead and get this taken care of now instead of fighting lingering knee issues all year long. I tend to think it is much preferable to miss some time early but get fully healthy in a few weeks than it is to have a situation like we did a year ago with Julio Jones, where he plays every week but really isn't getting back near 100% until November rolls around.
With that said, however, the Penn State game is only about eleven days away, and while it wouldn't be completely out of the question for him to return for that game, that would be an aggressive recovery schedule. The odds are probably that he misses the Penn State game altogether, or at least that Trent Richardson shoulders the bulk of the load. Until Ingram can get a bill of clean health and regains all strength in his knee, it's going to be up to Richardson, Eddie Lacy, and Demetrius Goode to carry the load. For now, I imagine that Ingram will perhaps return for the Duke game, certainly for the Arkansas game, but that he will likely miss the Penn State game.
The Penn State game looks to be the only source of concern right now. We should be able to beat both San Jose State and Duke even without the services of Ingram, and we're 26 days away from making the road trip to Fayetteville to take on Arkansas. If this injury is as minor as it has been described by Saban and various media outlets, Ingram ought to be fine and ready to go by the time we get the Hogs. Make no mistake about it, though, Richardson, Lacy, and Goode are probably going to have to get the job done against Penn State. For us to win there, they'll need to play well and the rest of the offense will need to play accordingly as well.
Update: Kleph e-mailed sports injury guru Will Carroll -- whom many of you may know from Baseball Prospectus, among other publications -- and asked him, given the information we have so far, what type of injury would produce this general recovery time frame after an arthroscopic surgery. Carroll replied as follows:
Cleaned it out -- mostly focus on the meniscus. Check the bone, maybe. It's 2-4 weeks and much more on the low end. Cain's Andrews' protege and very good.
Consider that some more good news. I don't see anything here that would indicate that this will be a long-term injury, and I expect he'll be good to go by the Arkansas game. More than anything else, the big issue here will be less about Ingram than it will be the ability of our team to cope without him in the Penn State game. I'm pretty bullish on that front, but regardless that's the question more so than anything about Ingram's recovery. By all accounts, Ingram ought to be in good shape when the meat of the schedule arrives starting in late September.

Coach Saban's statement:
“Mark Ingram sustained a left knee injury late in Monday’s practice. It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season.
“Mark had an arthroscopic procedure this morning with Dr. Cain and Dr. Andrews and it was successful. We have full confidence in our medical staff and we know the doctors and athletic trainers will do an outstanding job in taking care of Mark and assisting him in his rehab.
“Mark will definitely be out for this week’s game against San Jose State and we will manage this on a week to week basis beyond this week. We will make every decision in the future based on what’s best for Mark and his career as we consult with Dr. Cain and Dr. Andrews on his progress. This is not an injury that will affect Mark’s future ability to make a full recovery in a relatively short time frame.”

…after reading last paragraph.
Maybe it’s just a torn meniscus or something like that. Or they might have just been looking at it to be sure it wasn’t something worse.
Todd…time for you to eat something nasty.
On the bright side, I guess #3 will get a few more carries.

D'oh!
That was supposed to say (moves razor blade away from wrists after reading last paragraph).

given what saban has (or, more to the point, hasn't) said...
it’s almost impossible to tell. this may just have been an exploratory operation to specifically determine what damage may or may not have been done. that’ll sideline him for a few weeks but wouldn’t mean there’s any damage at all. this is a real possibility since most of the other actions taken in this type of procedure would seem to require a much more substantial recuperation period.

there's a pretty big difference between going in crisis mode due to losing a player
and feeling confident in the depth that has been amassed at a given position. while we might be sanguine over the ability of the team to perform without mark in the lineup, nary a one of us believes he’s not an essential part of this team and want him back as soon as possible.

True... No way to sugarcoat this.
But we have been lucky the last couple of years with the number of injuries that have occurred. Even with an injury to Hightower last year, look at what that team accomplished. Injuries will ALWAYS happen and there is really only one cure for injuries to a team. Recruiting to depth which I think we all agree is something that CNS has accomplished handily.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Even if Trent IS better, we’re still significantly better with BOTH of them playing than we are with either one alone.
or, to put it another way...
we don’t want to be in a position where another injury puts us in serious jepoardy.
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
Right
Or even just getting a little nicked up like Ingram did against Texas… Wasn’t a serious injury and he was even able to get back in later in the game… But if something like that happened to Richardson, Lacy will have to grow up REAL fast.

Can you do both without contradicting yourself?
I believe we can survive this without a doubt and didn’t mean to sound apocalyptic or that anyone was mitigating Mark’s essentiality to the success of the team, but this is a big loss. Even Alabama can’t lose a player of Mark’s caliber and not be affected in some way, shape or form. I hope I am not over emphasizng Mark’s contribution and depreciating the rest of the team, but I get the impression sometimes, from fans in general, that the opposite is the case.

Saban said that it was minor. He’ll be week-to-week after SJS. This is definitely something he can make a full recovery from. It sucks , and it could lead to other more serious injuries, but right now it’s just a minor knee injury. Back away from the ledge.

Yep,
his repeat chances were minimal at best even before this, and that won’t mean a da** thing anyway in the big scheme, which is us winning and losing games.

I don't think
Ingram would have repeated anyway. We are going to throw it more this year and we are going to run Trent more.
The PSU game is now a bigger concern. I feel TR is just as good, but our secert was that both guys could be rested. Now it is on Lacy to be real, real good. As good as Richardson so there is no drop off. Hopefully Lacy does not lay the ball on the ground alot. That is one thing about Ingram, he rarely fumbles
As much as I hate Auburn I hate Tenn. that much more.
Screw the Heisman...
he’s already got one….now, TR, on the other hand…..

Granted, it makes the Heisman less likely . . .
. . . but he could still miss the first 2 games and improve on last year’s stats, if not for Trent in the backfield. Trent is the main reason why Ingram was not a favorite to win the Heisman this year.
Great, just freakin great...
Well, at least now we will get to see if Lacy can be a key contributer and step into that 3rd role or if Goode is capable of being that guy (assuming he is healthy enough).
For this week, this just means
Goode and Lacy will see action in the first quarter, instead of early in the second. It’s Week 2 that is the concern.

I know multiple people, who aren’t Mark Ingram, who have had knee scopes and have been fine within a week or two. Also, a relative of mine in the sports therapy field who “may or may not know” people close to this case assured my Ingram could easily be ready as soon as late next week. I expect the staff to use him based on necessity in the PSU game.
question...
and in general, not having to this with this specific case. outside of a procedure to examine the inside of the knee, what type of work on a specific injury would entail just two weeks or so of recovery?
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
From what I understand
Most situations like this are limited to light cartilage work, as mentioned above a perhaps light meniscus injury, or perhaps something as simple (as you mentioned) as an exploratory procedure. Knee’s are fragile, however, and who knows what the impact could be long-term. I am just stating the typical down-time for this type procedure and what to expect.

i just spent some time at a link estes provided with info on the procedure and cross checked all the listed “problems” with will carroll’s sports injury book and pretty much all of them suggest a lot longer period of recuperation. which suggest the operation was exploratory but didn’t find anything and his recovery will be from the procedure itself.

I had a bone fragment removed a couple of months ago,
and some loose meniscus snipped away. I was walking the next day and pretty much completely fine within 2 weeks.
This is the best we can hope for.
The biggest hurdles he would have to overcome would be the normal inflammation (pain and swelling) associated with an exploratory laparoscopy. Pray for no structural damage.

I am not an expert and I may not be right on this...
But I worked for a rehab doctor at Princeton for several years and now I work for an Internal Med doctor and we send patients to orthos for stuff all the time. The most common procedures done in arthroscopic knee surgery are: removal or repair of torn meniscal cartilage,reconstruction of a torn ACL, trimming of torn pieces of cartilage, removal of loose bone fragments or cartilage and removal of inflamed tissue. The obvious one it isn’t is a torn ACL. That would have been season ending and there would have no way to cover it up. I would imagine it is either removal of some torn cartilage or trimming the meniscus as well as just simply exploratory to make sure nothing was missed on MRI. I have seen patients up and walking in less than a week after having something minor like cartilage trimmed. And these patients were not in even 1/4 the shape that Mark is in. If he misses the Penn State game, it may be more of a precaution than he actually can’t play. I expect him to recover pretty quick. He will probably play with a soft sleeve on his knee for a while or maybe even from now on for stability, but that may be more of a precautionary measure more than a need…

cartilage tears would take six to twelve months.

on the location of the tear…
by BamaGirlinDallas on Aug 31, 2010 12:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Kleph, the biggest thing to note is that
if they’re just removing things (loose bone or cartilage) then recovery time is minimal because you don’t have to wait for anything to regrow.
What you’re talking about may be where there’s a significant tear and they have to give time for the cartilage to regrow.
RICE will handle that...
R = Rest
I = Ice
C = Compression
E = Elevation
by BamaGirlinDallas on Aug 31, 2010 12:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Well yeah, but how much of that?
My doc said I could walk the next day, but I had to limit the amount I was up. I had to elevate and ice 24/7 (30 minutes on, 30 minutes off) for 4 days. Then icing 3 times per day after that.
After a week I was OK and without much swelling, but I wasn’t full strength. Obviously Mark is in better shape than me and will get better care than I got though, so hopefully recovery and conditioning will be better.
I imagine the swelling
will be kept under control with ice pretty well. And steriod injections can help with swelling as well.

Well, if ya wanted to see a "Wide Open Offense, complete with Passing", here's your chance!
My worst fear for Ingram has been realized. He is a guy that doesnt quit, no matter how many guys are on the pile. A few plays last year had a lump in my throat where he had gotten as much as he could out of the run, and was basically a pile of 5 or more bodies with more people running in and piling on til he fell over. I just knew some dickweed would come flying in from the side and hit him in the knee or break his damn leg indirectly before the whistle can be blown, especially on the goal line vs Florida. I just knew on one play one guy had his ankle at the bottom of the pile and the pile was headed the opposite direction, somehow his foot slipped out at the last second. I hope he learns once he has gotten all he can get, to go down or get out of bounds. Emmit Smith learned that quick in the pros, that your career can be over in the one play you are trying to get an extra yard, one bozo trying to make a name for himself will do something stupid, so just go down or get out of bounds.

I think there was a
QB last year or the year before in the NFL that had this done on a Monday and played that Sunday. Now that ain’t a RB, but this is not as big a deal as some of you think.
But PSU is a big deal and I don’t know if we will play Ingram then.

Online Information
Knee arthroscopy – Recovery
Alternative Names
Knee scope – arthroscopic lateral retinacular release; Synovectomy – knee; Patellar (knee) debridement; Meniscus repair; Lateral release; Knee surgery
After the Procedure:
After the surgery, you will have an ace bandage on your knee over the incision dressing. Most people go home the same day they have surgery. Your doctor will give you an exercise program to follow.
Outlook (Prognosis):
Whether or not you have a full recovery after knee arthroscopy depends on what type of problem was treated.
Problems such as a torn meniscus, broken cartilage, Baker’s cyst, and problems with the synovium are usually fixed easily. Many patients remain active after these surgeries.
Recovery from simple procedures is usually fast. You may need to use crutches for a while so that you do not put weight on your knee and to control pain. This will depend on what kind of surgery you had. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medicine.
Thank goodness for Dr. Andrews
Ingram’s knee should be good once fully recovered.
The only question is if he will be able to play against Penn State (pretty doubtful, but still within possibility).
He should be ready for Arkansas, and might get a chance to warm up against Duke.
Fumbles. It was always Fumbles
well, this is the advantage of having andrews on the case
you can feel pretty confident in the diagnosis and recommendation for recovery.

I imagine if it were your typical cleaning out procedure, where loose debris causes by years of play and punishment is removed, this would have been done something long before now. I’m thinking it was literally a minor injury suffered just yesterday.

the problem is that any type of work on a tear
would likely include a longer recovery (from what i’ve read. i certainly defer to others in this thread with more information). a couple people noted that mark had intermittent issues last year so it makes sense that an exploratory procedure was conducted and, while in there, they tidied up a bit. obviously, we’re just speculating since it’s highly doubtful coach saban is going to shed more light on the issue.
still, everyone seems to agree it’s likely he’ll be back in the lineup for arkansas.

Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
obviously, we're hoping for a full recovery
but in my mind, we wont need Mark back until/unless TR or Lacy get hurt. If Mark winds up missing 4 games but does come back at full strength , then really this is more of an opportunity for Lacy and Goode than anything. It also should give us more incentive to test out our passing game on our first 3 cupcakes. (sorry, but after reading up on PSU’s continued qb struggles, as in: they still aint got a started today, i’m feeling very confident about that game)
so anyway, we’ll be fine. all is well. Mark will be back by the arkansas game.

and while i could give a rat's fart about the heisman

Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
here here
its still very early on, but from what we know, Dr. Andrews diagnosed, and performed the surgery. and Dr Andrews thinks Mark will have a full recovery in a few weeks. As far as i’m concerned we should limit his carries anyway, this just means we’ll have to.
fingers crossed (and i think it’s a reasonable hope/expectation) that Mark only misses a few games and is healthy in October, November, December, and January…. as long as that happens, the Marks draft status should still be entirely up to him, and his on the field and at the combine performance…..

Good point.
And because of that Saban won’t bring him back until he is 100%—I’d guess Arky.
As much as I hate Auburn I hate Tenn. that much more.
and keep in mind
the key to the psu game is more likely how well our young secondary matches up to the nittany lion’s even less tested quarterback. and the magic eight ball says “definitely.”
a great running game would be nice but isn’t a prerequisite. if we just hold at “good” which richardson/lacy is more than enough to do, we still should be favored in that contest. so why bring mark back with any question whatsoever? hold him till arkansas when the rubber meets the road in the SEC.

Ingram Status Update, brought to you by the ESPN Coalition of...
“We Think Trent Richardson May Be Better Than Mark Ingram Drinking Game”
Remember kids, if your gonna watch ESPN while Mark Ingram is hurt, get ready for the most painful drinking game of all, because we are gonna say the phrase
“Trent Richardson could be better than Mark Ingram” about 10 times a 2 minute segment.
Update: Mark Ingram had to have his leg removed from the knee down, due to a bad staph infection. Nick Saban says this will only set him back about 3 weeks, due to the special leg being built by Cyberdyne Industries. The only problem they foresee is while in practice, the sheer force of getting hit in the shoulder pads by Dont’a Hightower seems to knock it clean off. More test are needed. Mark Ingram may be the only one legged repeat Heisman winner in the history of the NCAA, if Trent Richardson, who may be better than Mark Ingram, doesnt win it first…film at 11……

Knee Surgery
I had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair some torn cartledge back in December. I was up walking around with very few problems within a few days.
I was told by the doctor when asking about recovery time that it was completely up to me. I laid in bed and on the couch for 2 days watching football (SEC Championship) and playing video games (a good excuse not to do work). After I used up the surgery excuse, I had to go back to the real world and do house work, help with the baby, work, church, etc.
8 days after the surgery, I went and played disc golf (obviously not football, but still) and my knee had no adverse affects. The disc golf game involved walking up and down hills, twisting/pivoting of the knee. There are some arthroscopic surgeries that can take much longer to recover from. But based on what Saban and the doctors are saying, it sounds similar to what I had done.
If I projected my injury onto my 10 years ago college soccer playing days, I’d probably have been doing some light running 4 – 5 days after the surgery and increasing that to practicing 10 – 11 days after the surgery.
MI seems to have had his surgery Tuesday morning. He will be on the sidelines for the SJSU game with no crutches (but no pads) walking around supporting the team. Assuming nothing goes south, I would expect him to be available against Penn St but to not see the field.
I think he will be fine and having gone through the same thing less than a year ago. He is also healthier and younger than I am.
So why did you have knee surgery?
I had arthroscopy about 15 years ago and my knee still bothers me. I had someone spear my knee and dislocate my knee cap while playing fullback. The dislodged patella, tore a piece of my meniscus and broke a small piece of my femur off. Needless to say, my knee has not been the same since. I don’t think this is the case with Ingram rather I would guess its probably just a torn meniscus (which can in itself be devastating).
I am sure Ingram will be fine. I just hope this does not affect his confidence in the knee.
There was a micro-second...
between reading the words “season” and “opener” when my head almost exploded. My blood pressure would much have preferred the term “first game.”
At any rate, I’m looking forward to the extra jolt that being the starter will give TR. As if he needed any additional fire.
honestly
having lacy get in the backup reps can only help down the line.

I'm telling you, Lacy will be your starter....hide and watch...
rumor has started, the Lacy MAY BE BETTER THAN RICHARDSON

The spread dropped on news of Ingram's injury...

we’re gonna cover that sucker yet.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

Lemak...
who was a partner of Andrews, just said on JOX he didn’t think it was a meniscul tear and recovery should be rather quick.

Question
I hate to change the subject here, but I have heard no meaningful news on Dareus yet, any reports?
You're right.
And thanks for being a smartass.

This thread…will live….in infamy…..forever…..because….for about 5 mins…..I forgot…..that we had….Trent Richardson…..and Eddie Lacy…..and Demetrius Goode….
Trent, if you hadnt heard, may be better than Ingram…..Lacy may be better than Trent…..Goode may be better than all of them plus Shaun Alexander and Bobby Humphrey combined…..(the ellipses are for the “echo” effect)

Cain scoped my shoulder and I was quite pleased with the results.
This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.
