Source: Ravens' Perriman avoids major surgery

Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver Breshad Perriman does not have a completely torn ACL as previously feared and "will be fine for the season", a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Perriman was examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday and underwent an arthroscopic procedure on Tuesday that revealed that he did not need reconstructive surgery. Instead, he received a stem-cell injection in the joint Tuesday, and the injury will be allowed to heal on its own.
