UNCASVILLE, Conn. (October 19, 2009) - For Ryan Dirteater, the next 12 months are about patience.
That’s what it will take for Dirteater to come back from his latest injury.
Dirteater dislocated his left knee cap and tore his ACL, MCL and PCL during the third round of the Mohegan Sun Invitational, when his left leg got hung up in his rope on the dismount after making a qualified ride.
The 20-year-old spent Monday flying home to Oklahoma, where he’ll remain off his feet until next Tuesday. He’ll then travel to Dallas for the first in a series of surgeries that will be performed by Dr. Tandy Freeman.
PBR - Dirteater likely out for a year
