March 27, 2008 Charles Grant underwent surgery in January to repair a torn ligament in his left ankle, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

That's not my game. I played through the whole season, torn ligament in my ankle and couldn't really get the 'get off' that I wanted. The coach and the GM knew that. This organization knew that." After signing a seven-year contract that could ultimately be worth $63 million, Grant struggled through 2007 appearing heavy and out of shape, and from the sounds of things, the ankle injury contributed to his lackluster performance. |
