Depending on the severity of a meniscus tear, a player can be expected to miss anywhere from four weeks to several months with recovery. There is still uncertainty as to the severity of Johnson's injury, as Silver tweets:

At this point I'm told it's unclear whether knee surgery for a torn meniscus will end Chargers WR Stevie Johnson's season
