"Punter Daniel Sepulveda has cartilage damage in his right knee and not another injury to the ACL, which was torn last December for the second time in three seasons.

Sepulveda will have surgery to repair the cartilage damage, suffered in practiced Thursday. It is a much less severe injury than one to the ligament and he should be able to recuperate quickly and return to punt in 2012.

There had been speculation that Sepulveda tore his ACL again last week. It was torn in 2006 when he was at Baylor, in 2008 with the Steelers and again last December. Sepulveda tried to punt through the injury but could not and was put on the injured reserve list."
