"New Orleans Saints defensive end Greg Romeus tore the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament in his left knee earlier this week, according to coach Joe Vitt. He had previously torn the ACL in his right knee in college. Vitt said Romeus will be sidelined for six to eight months, which means he will almost certainly be placed on injured reserve for the 2012 season. "He was just running down the field and his non-surgical knee gave on him and he has an ACL and an MCL and he's going to miss the next 6-8 months," Saints coach Joe Vitt said.
