rotoworld,

Robert Meachem is out until training camp after undergoing surgery to repair torn cartilage on the second toe of his left foot.

Meachem called the injury "just a nick," but he suffered it late last season and experienced recurring pain in the toe early in the offseason program. "It...became aggravated the more he started running on it," coach Sean Payton revealed. "It’s going to set him back. Our goal is to get him back in time for the start of training camp (July 29), the first week or so." Meachem finished as the No. 22 overall fantasy receiver last year, scoring nine touchdowns and catching 45 passes for 722 yards. His 2010 fantasy outlook takes a hit, though it will only be minor if he recovers on schedule.



Why don't these guys have these surgerys in Feb or March? Didn't he run enough in the late winter early spring to realize that he had a problem? Meachem had a good year last year with Moore injured for most of the season now he gets to fall a bit behind.
 
(nfl.com)Saints WR Robert Meachem is off crutches after having toe surgery less than a month ago, but he has to wear a sandal and can't wear a shoe yet. Meachem said he will have the pin taken out of his middle toe on his left foot next week. There is no timetable for his return. "As of right now, I'm just taking it one day at a time and listening to what the doctor tells me ... and trying to make sure that it's all the way back 100-percent healthy. Don't try to rush it," Meachem said.
 
rotoworld,
Robert Meachem (toe surgery) admitted that he has "no idea" when he'll be 100 percent.

Meachem has the pin out of his toe, but still isn't running fully. When asked if he'll be a full-go for training camp, Meachem said, "I hope so." He sounds a little downtrodden about his rehab right now, but keep in mind we're still about two months from camp. His progress will be something to keep an eye on even though coach Sean Payton said Sunday that he expects Meachem to be ready for training camp.

(cbssports.com)The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Saints WR Robert Meachem was held out of minicamp following toe surgery earlier this offseason. The paper reports Meachem "is clearly hobbled" and didn't offer a particularly optimistic take on his return. But Meachem is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, at least in some form of being able to practice.
