He tore ligaments, severity kept quiet

Jimmy Smith / New Orleans Times-Picayune


It has been a busy offseason medically for Saints defensive end Charles Grant, who has seen more physicians than he'd ordinarily like.

In January, Grant underwent surgery in Birmingham, Ala., to repair a torn ligament in his left ankle, an injury he apparently sustained Oct. 28 in a win over the San Francisco 49ers, the severity of which Grant said was known by the Saints' front office and coaches but never revealed publicly.

In February, Grant was in a hospital emergency room near Blakely, Ga., to have a stab wound in his neck, sustained in an altercation outside a nightclub, stitched.

After signing a seven-year contract that ultimately could be worth $63 million, Grant struggled through 2007, appearing heavy and out of shape, which was complicated by the ankle injury. Full Story – Picayune
