Chidobe Awuzie expects to have surgery in next few weeks for torn ACL

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie suffered a torn ACL against the Browns on Monday night and will have surgery in the next few weeks.

Awuzie said his initial thought when he hobbled off the field was that the non-contact injury wasn't serious. When he got into the blue medical tent, the Bengals’ medical staff informed him it was his ACL.
