Hope we get a full season from him.

Aaand I don't know why I wanted it to be his right knee, when it CLEARLY states left knee. I'm tired, sorry about the boo boo lol.

  I am curious to find out what the surgery was...I know it was left knee, but what type of surgery on the knee?

A little more on the subject.  It seems Smith declined to say what the surgery was according to this article.

He had a good season last year, hope this will help him maintain durability.

If I were to guess, probably a clean up of debris or something non ligament tear related. I’ve got a similar problem with my knees going on after years of army abuse. Debris from accelerated wear gets in the joint and causes extreme pain. But it’s a 30 minute clean up surgery and a 6-8 week recovery to full

 

so let’s hope that’s all this was

He was clearly hobbling around last year so you could sense this was coming.

Typically, when the player puts off the surgery until this late in the off-season, it’s minor.   Arthroscopic likely to trim up some cartelidge.   I would guess that Smith should be good to go by Aug 1 so he can practice with the team.

Tons of NFL players have some kind of surgery in the off season.

Yeah that was expected. Hopefully he stays healthy this season. In the mean time some young guys will get the chan e go show their stuff in OTA.

He had it a while ago. He didn’t just have it.

Smith said in his presser today he is working on strength and conditioning in his rehab.
