Giant's Osi Umenyiora To Miss Season With Torn Lateral Meniscus

By the New York Giants
Posted Sunday, August 24, 2008

  

 

Giants Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who left last night's game against the Jets in the second quarter when his left knee locked up, underwent an MRI and exam today at Hospital for Special Surgery.

The finding by team physician Dr. Russell Warren is that Umemyiora has a torn lateral meniscus.

Umenyiora, who will miss the 2008 season due to the injury, is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday.

This is not the first time Umenyiora has required surgery to repair cartilage damage in his left knee. He underwent arthroscopic surgery for the same issue during his collegiate career at Troy State.
