    Washington Redskins defensive lineman Jason Hatcher didn't want to enter the season with a damaged knee. So he, and the team, decided now was the best time to fix any problems.

    Hatcher will undergo arthroscopic surgery, which will be performed by Dr. James Andrews on Thursday, to clean up issues with the cartilage in his left knee. Hatcher said he'll miss four to six weeks, which would put his availability for training camp in jeopardy. The Redskins' first training camp practice is July 24.

    "We don't feel it's a long-term thing," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. "But anytime you have a surgery there's a little concern, but from what I'm told the severity of it is not that great. There's no damage in there whatsoever."
