Arizona football: Scooby Wright out 3-4 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery

Rich Rodriguez made it official on Monday at his press conference, announcing that Scooby Wright III is out 3-4 weeks after suffering a lateral meniscus tear against UTSA last Thursday.

Wright underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Saturday, and will still travel with the team to Nevada to undergo treatment from the team doctors. Rodriguez also said that from all the information he got initially from the trainers on the sideline, that there was never any thought that this injury would be season-ending.

"It went well," Rodriguez said of the knee surgery. "So we hope to get him back in a few weeks.
