Washington Redskins safety Su’a Cravens will have knee surgery Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The surgery comes after Cravens injured his knee Thursday in the Redskins’ first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. Cravens is expected to be healthy for Week 1, according to Schefter.
Coach Jay Gruden said Saturday that the Redskins would be taking Cravens’ injury “day by day.”
Gruden said that an initial MRI Friday had revealed no structural damage, though he did say that doctors might take another look once the swelling in the knee had gone down.
It wasn’t clear when in the game Cravens got hurt and the injury was never announced during the game, though he did spend some time on the sideline with an ice pack on his right knee.
