Rolle suffered what was originally believed to have been cartilage damage to his left knee in a Sept. 25 loss at Seattle, and was expected to be sidelined for three or four weeks. But during Monday morning surgery by Dr. John Uribe of Miami to ostensibly repair the meniscus cartilage, more severe damage was discovered.
The arthroscopic surgery revealed ligament damage, which was not anticipated, and the involvement of the ligaments is sufficient enough to sideline Rolle for the balance of the season. The severity of the knee problem came as not only a surprise to Arizona officials but also a blow to the Cardinals' defense. Rolle was also said to have been shocked by the more serious knee condition. [READ] |
