Adam Vinatieri says he should have had knee surgery in offseason, missed start of season

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri's 24th year in the NFL was full of disappointment, as he made a career-low 68% of his field-goal attempts before a knee problem caused the team to put him on the season-ending injured reserve list.

If Vinatieri had to do all over again, though, he wouldn't have waited so long to have left knee surgery.

"Hindsight, if I had a crystal ball I would have gotten it fixed last offseason because we dealt with it last year as well to a little bit lesser degree," Vinatieri told ESPN on Tuesday.
