Wisconsin Football: Melvin Gordon had Microfracture Surgery in January

Melvin Gordon’s NFL debut didn’t go as many hoped for the former Wisconsin football star. His 2015 season ended with a knee injury after 14 games, and reports this week say that injury required microfracture surgery.

While “microfracture surgery” is not what anyone wants to hear, Gordon told Michael Gehlken of The San Diego Union Tribune that he is well on the road to recovery.

Gordon, who had the surgery Jan. 5 as the result of a cartilage tear suffered Dec. 20 against the Miami Dolphins, said he expects to be back in action fully by summer.
