I hope the torn meniscus doesn't put his career on a short clock, but if OnceMoreUntoTheJimBreech is reading this, maybe he can weigh in on the possible wear on the cartilage once a person already has a torn meniscus.
But here's hoping dude ends up on the same career path as Munoz.
Prognosis varies widely depending upon the individual injury.
Most meniscal tears aren't a big deal. But, they can be. Some can heal with time and rehab alone while others may require complete removal of the meniscus with microfracture surgery. (Kinda like when Burficts' meniscal tear didn't heal as expected followed by microfracture surgery.) I think meniscal injuries lead to Levi Jones' and Peter Warrick's knee problems, but that's off the top of my head so don't quote me. Plus no surgeon has a crystal ball to see into the future to predict which surgeries will succeed and which will fail.
Ki-Jana Carter, Chris Perry, David Pollack, 2nd round Auburn RB never played a down whose name I can't remember; you can't predict injuries.
