FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas receiver Marcus Monk may be out through the Sept. 15 game at Alabama, now that he has undergone a second arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
Arkansas trainer Dean Weber told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that two pieces of cartilage had moved beneath the meniscus in Monk's knee, causing pain.
"It was two loose bodies that had flaked off the articular cartilage that he had damaged before," Weber said.
Monk was injured in practice on Aug. 9 and had the first surgery on Aug. 13. Monk was expected to miss Saturday's opener when the No. 21 Razorbacks play Troy at Fayetteville. Weber said Monk may miss the Sept. 15 game at Alabama, too.
"Is this going to set him back a little bit? Yeah," Weber said. "How much is hard to say. Obviously he will miss the Troy game, and he's doubtful for the Alabama game."
