STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State Head Football Coach Bob Simmons announced Tuesday that quarterback Tony Lindsay would be sidelined for at least four weeks after suffering a knee injury in Saturday night's season opener.

Lindsay, a redshirt junior from Denver, Colo., suffered the injury to his left knee in the second quarter of Oklahoma State's 24-7 win over Louisiana-Lafayette.

Terry Noonan, head athletic trainer at OSU, said Lindsay suffered a torn MCL (medial collateral ligament) and that his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) was stretched.

At this point, the injury will be treated non-surgically by placing the knee in a brace and reevaluating after the four-week period. Lindsay may also seek a second medical opinion.
