Cobb Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Source: ESPN.com NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma tight end Jermaine Gresham will miss the rest of the season after having surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. Coach Bob Stoops said that doctors determined during an arthroscopic surgery Tuesday that they needed to stitch together the cartilage in Gresham's knee. Stoops said Gresham will need five months to recover. The 13th-ranked Sooners are already reeling from the loss of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford, who sprained his shoulder in a 14-13 loss to BYU and will be out at least two weeks. Gresham was a second-team All-America pick last season and had been considered a top NFL prospect before returning for his junior year. Gresham was Oklahoma's top returning receiver with 66 catches for 950 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. He needed only five more TDs to tie the school's career record of 31 set by Mark Clayton. Now, he's another key cog missing from what was the highest-scoring offense in college football history last year.Horrible news for Sooners fans. Looks like they won't be competing for a National Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
