Three days after suffering a season-ending ACL injury, Virginia Tech running back Darrell Evans underwent surgery to repair the damage earlier today.
In a previously unreported bit of information, Evans also damaged the lateral meniscus in his left knee, which was also repaired during the procedure.
Here’s the school’s press release announcing the successful surgery:
Virginia Tech tailback Darren Evans underwent successful knee surgery Friday afternoon at Montgomery Regional Hospital in Blacksburg. According to head athletic trainer Mike Goforth, Evans had the ACL in his left knee repaired and the lateral meniscus was trimmed. Dr. Marc Siegel performed the surgery.
Evans, a redshirt sophomore from Indianapolis, Ind., will begin rehab immediately and is expected to be back full for spring practice.
