Deep breaths, folks.
I have to admit that when I first saw the news on Friday evening that Pitt sophomore safety Jordan Whitehead was having offseason knee surgery that my initial reaction wasn't all that great. But while he did indeed have some surgery on his left meniscus on Friday, turns out that it's hardly disastrous news.
The Pitt defensive standout will miss about 4-6 weeks of summer workouts and conditioning. While that's obviously not ideal (especially for an underclassman that is going to be relied on quite a bit this upcoming season), it isn't expected to have any impact on the season at all.
