Surgery for Dvoracek
According to the Bears’ website, injured nose tackle Dusty Dvoracek is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery Friday to determine the severity of the injury he suffered to his right knee Saturday night against the Giants.
Dvoracek, who was injured while sacking Andre Woodson late in the third quarter, has already been diagnosed with a sprained MCL (medial collateral ligament). But team doctors Gordon Nuber and Mark Bowen will determine in the Friday procedure if Dvoracek also has torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), which would end his season. If his ACL is intact, Dvoracek could play in 2009.
The third-round draft pick from Oklahoma has played in just 13 games in three seasons because of a variety of injuries.
The 6-foot-3, 303-pounder sat out his entire rookie season with a foot injury, then suffered a tear of his left ACL in the 2007 season opener and missed the remainder of the season. He started the first 12 games last year before finishing on injured reserve for the third straight season, this time with a torn biceps muscle.
At the time, Dvoracek led all Bears linemen with 40 tackles.
Might as well just cut his ass! The promise he showed early in his career wasn't there last year when he was healthy (12 games) and now he is hurt again!!! To me he is done I would rather have Harrison playing over glass man anyway.
