Warriors in the Pros: NFL Week 17, Colt to Have Surgery

Chris Steuber of Scout.com reports that Colt Brennan will need surgery to repair a slightly torn meniscus in his left knee.

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Colt Brennan suffered a slight tear to the meniscus in his left knee and will undergo surgery. A sixth round pick in the 2008 draft, Brennan first experienced discomfort in his knee about two months ago in practice, and an MRI revealed the extent of the injury.

“It isn’t really painful, it’s just a nagging pain,” Brennan said. “I’ve been practicing with it and was moving around fine, but after speaking with doctors, they said it would be a quick fix; it’s just a slight tear.”

The expected recovery time for Brennan is three weeks.

Isaac Sopoaga had 3 solo and 1 assisted tackle as the 49ers beat the Redskins. Earlier this week, he spoke about the end of this season and looking ahead to the next:

“It’s fun and a great feeling to have the last practice, but it also sucks that it’s over,” said Sopoaga. “I’m looking forward to next year and having a longer season. I know I can’t wait to get back on the practice field and work for that.”
