Redskins safety Su’a Cravens had knee surgery Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The procedure was minor, successful and took less than 20 minutes, the person said. Cravens is expected to have recovered fully by the start of the regular season.
ESPN first reported the surgery.
The surgery comes after Cravens injured his knee Thursday in the Redskins’ first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Coach Jay Gruden said Saturday that the Redskins would be taking Cravens’ injury “day by day.”
There was some fear that Cravens could have damaged his meniscus, but tests showed otherwise.
