Apparently, the injury happened during Monday's practice. Also, the possibility exists he could be done for the year too depending on his recovery. He is eligible for a redshirt year.

The Dispatch is saying that Saine's injury is not serious. Says he shouldn't miss that much time.

We have just confirmed that RB Brandon Saine will not play Saturday against Northwestern.

Though there are lots of rumors buzzing around about exactly what his injury is, we don't feel comfortable reporting anything else at this point.

We can say the injury is not believed to be serious. It should not keep him out very long.

If we get any updates, we will post either here or Dispatch.com -- or both.

We know this because Maurice Clarett had meniscus surgery in 2002 and was back in about 2 weeks (he missed further time because of his shoulder). However, it's the type of surgery performed that can cause a wide variance in recuperaion time. At this point, we don't know what type of surgery he had (if he's had it yet). I think the Dispatch wanted to post something just to get something up as they try to confirm more details.

In todays paper the Dispatch updated the Saine story.

Saine is out

Freshman tailback Brandon Saine underwent arthroscopic knee surgery yesterday to repair torn cartilage, two sources told The Dispatch. The procedure was considered minor, and Saine could return in two weeks, though he likely won't be pushed.

Saine, a backup to Chris "Beanie" Wells, gained 88 yards and scored a late touchdown at Washington.

The injury didn't show up until midweek, and it's believed the decision for the arthroscopic surgery wasn't made until Thursday.
