It's not serious

Per Darren Wolfson on Twitter:
Benny Sapp III has reinjured his left knee, the same knee he has had two ACL repairs on.
Wolfson reporting that Sapp reinjured the same knee that was already been repaired https://twitter.com/dwolfsonkstp/status/909893779578122245
Doophus could have made one call and found it's a minor strain and not related to prior injury. But then that wouldn't have been news.
Dude has had his ACL repaired twice. I don't think a "minor strain" that causes him to miss a game can be brushed aside. It is most certainly newsworthy.

Was it reported as just a strain?
The point is he could have easily found and described the injury. He chose not to for views. Typical Doogie.
Shut him down . Let the kids knee heal.
Repaired knees can be stronger than the original knee. I have hopes that Sapp will be the next Winfield. I can always hope.
Are you joking
Agree. Diehard sniffing glue again.

Hopefully the meniscus repair goes well. Usually 4-6 weeks on crutches but then he can rehab. At least it happened early in the year and he should be 100%* for the Gophers
Roughly 50% of meniscus repairs tear again. Then you just cut it out. Not ideal but he can play with 20-30% of his meniscus missing.
You're talking about something without knowing the extent of an injury. Do we even know Benny tore his meniscus-sorry but being on vacation has kept me out of that loop? If so what type of tear? Some are extremely hard to repair and result in resection of the torn cartilage- which often actually allows earlier rehab/return to play. If the tear can be repaired the immobility is minimum 6 weeks with a much slower and more difficult rehab.

There was an article on the Strib about it today. He definitely tore his cartilage and was given the option to either cut it away and play right away or repair it and miss the season. He and his family chose the latter.
He is having it repaired, something I've done 4 times.
