Sounds like a meniscus tear if he is coming back this year although that is just a guess.  If it is a meniscus, he could be back in three to four weeks.

If it's not season ending, then it's likely they trimmed some of his meniscus

The tear was either progressing, catching, or they determined it was causing rubbing/increased pressure and thus swelling.

He's bigger, so it will be a little bit longer than a smaller guy (I believe when Jourdan Lewis had his meniscus trimmed it was either right before or right after Week 1 or 2, and he returned within 1 missed game. He is, however, ~120+lbs lighter).

Have a friend who talks to him on Snapchat, he just messaged her that he "tore my meniscus and fucked up knee"

 

So everyone guessing meniscus was right. I don't remember any recent players having that injury and the time frame. Hope it's not too long.
