Alabama's Mark Ingram out for opener

 Alabama running back Mark Ingram suffered a knee injury late in Monday's practice, coach Nick Saban announced in a statement Tuesday, and has been ruled out for Saturday's season opener against San Jose State.

Ingram, who last year became the first Crimson Tide player to win a Heisman Trophy, had "an arthroscopic procedure" done Tuesday morning, according to the statement.

"It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season," Saban said.

Alabama's Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Mark Ingram underwent arthroscopic surgery this morning on his left knee, according to a statement by Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.

Ingram will be out for Saturday's game against San Jose State and evaluated on a week-to-week basis after that. Alabama hosts Penn State on Sept. 11 and visits Duke on Sept. 18.

"It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season," Saban said.

Ingram, a junior, hurt his knee late in practice on Monday. Saban said this morning's minor surgery was successful and performed by Dr. Lyle Cain and Dr. James Andrews.

The normal recovery for a knee scope is a few weeks.

"We have full confidence in our medical staff and we know the doctors and athletic trainers will do an outstanding job in taking care of Mark and assisting him in his rehab," Saban said.

"Mark will definitely be out for this week's game against San Jose State and we will manage this on a week to week basis beyond this week. We will make every decision in the future based on what's best for Mark and his career as we consult with Dr. Cain and Dr. Andrews on his progress. This is not an injury that will affect Mark's future ability to make a full recovery in a relatively short time frame."

Trent Richardson will step into the starting role for this weekend's game with redshirt freshman Eddie Lacy becoming the backup.

Translation to English:  We don't need him to shit stomp San Jose State, but if Penn State is within two touchdowns, you can bet your ass he will be on the field, his pro career be damned.

I think we have a little skewed perception of Mr. Ingram since Auburn stuffed him and the feeling was that he waved the white flag.  However.....Auburn was the only one that's stopped him in 2 years time. 

Richardson is definitely a bad ass but you let him take a helmet to the knee or roll an ankle Saturday. With Ingram out, that changes things big time.  You go from the best 1-2 punch in the nation to wondering who is going to step up.

That hurts.
