Minnesota left guard Jon Christenson could miss roughly a month after undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery early this week.

The Minnesota Gophers made a great escape in Fort Collins, Colo. last Saturday, edging Colorado State in overtime.

Minnesota was not able to escape injury, however.

In fact, the injuries are starting to add up for Minnesota, especially along the offensive line. Left guard Jon Christenson could miss roughly a month, for example, after undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery early this week.
