FSU's Derwin James will miss Louisville showdown, but knee injury not serious

"For him, I'm very happy there's no structural damage or anything of that regard", Fisher said at his Monday news conference, via the Tallahassee Democrat.

Pressed on how long James might be unavailable to the Seminoles, Fisher suggested a wide range on his return.

James suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of last Saturday's win over Charleston Southern.

FSU sophomore S Derwin James is undergoing surgery on his left knee to fix torn cartilage.

The timing on James' injury couldn't be worse with the Seminoles playing a hot Louisville team, which includes record-setting quarterback Lamar Jackson, this coming weekend.

James registered his first career interception in the "Noles" season opener against Ole Miss on Labor Day.

The 6-foot-3, 211-pounder from Haines City is a versatile playmaker rated as the No. 2 sophomore strong safety prospect in the nation by NFLDraftScout.com, behind only MI redshirt sophomore Jabrill Peppers. "I don't know until they do the surgery, how it's repaired". "Bobby (Petrino) is a heck of a football coach. he does a great job". The Cardinals sophomore quarterback has put on a clinic through his first two games, accounting for 13 touchdowns and 1,015 yards. "There's going to be tight, close coverage, and we've got to be able to run and pass". "I don't know", he said. "His throwing motion has gotten better since we faced him". In 2015, he finished second for Florida State in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, forced fumbles and recoveries.
