Dr. Andrews is one of the most renown orthopedists in the country. Alonso tore his ACL on July 1st in a personal workout. Typically surgeons need to wait for the swelling to subside in the wake of the injury before surgery can be performed.

Bills GM Doug Whaley is scheduled to address the media later this afternoon.
