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. "This kid has really worked hard. The whole team feels bad for him, the coaching staff feels bad for him. It's part of the game. This kid has put in the time, he has put in the effort and he has to go through the whole process all over again. So we're going to be there for him and we're going to support him."
