Reports: Ravens WR Breshad Perriman avoids season-ending ACL surgery
The Baltimore Ravens got some great news Tuesday: Wide receiver Breshad Perriman will not need season-ending surgery on his left knee.
According to reports, Perriman's ACL isn't torn and he was given a stem-cell injection by Dr. James Andrews. However, he did have arthroscopic surgery on the knee.
On the initial exam, #Ravens felt Breshad Perriman's knee was stable. Today's scope proved it. Plus, Andrews is big proponent of stem cells.

Perriman, 22, should be ready by the start of the 2016 season -- a big boost for the Ravens considering fellow wideout Steve Smith just provided a not-so-rosy update on his return from a season-ending Achilles injury that he suffered in Week 8 last season.
Perriman, the 26th overall pick in the 2015 draft, missed all of last season because of an injury to his right knee.
