Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman says he has ligament damage in his left knee and is looking at options on how to fix it. In an e-mail to the North County Times, Merriman says he is waiting doctors recommendations.
"(It's) a loose ligament and (I'm) waiting to get more info on what I need to do," Merriman said via e-mail.
Merriman then told the San Diego Union Tribune that the PCL ligament was actually torn. His options are to just play through the pain, have a quick fix that would keep him out for the beginning of the season, or have reconstructive surgery and miss the entire 2008 season.
He hasn't practiced since playing in the Chargers' first preseason game on August 9.
What is interesting is what Chargers GM A.J. Smith said about Merriman's off-season "commitments" (like wrestling) to the Union Tribune.
"My feeling about any of his off-the-field activities will be between me and Shawne. Shawne has many, many activities off the field, and that's his business, along with his agents, marketing people, publicist and business partners. My only hope is that he remembers his high-level football performance is what drives his off-the-field attraction."
