Scooby Wright injury: Arizona linebacker has procedure for lateral meniscus tear, could return for Pac-12 play

He could be back for Pac-12 play

When the Arizona Wildcats lost Scooby Wright III early in the season-opener against UTSA, it looked like it might be a death blow to the season.

But it seems Arizona's best defensive player will be back sooner than later.

According to Sports Illustrated's Brian Hamilton, Wright underwent a procedure to fix a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee on Saturday, and could be back for Pac-12 play.

Hamilton's source says "It was better than everyone thought," after doctors went inside the knee for the procedure.
