Deuce McAllister is getting in a little R & R after undergoing a successful surgery in Birmingham, AL. The surgery is the first step in repairing a torn ACL on the Saints RB’s left knee. Saints GM Mickey Loomis told the media today:

“We are very pleased to hear that Deuce’s surgery went well,” Loomis said. “We’re confident that his rehabilitation will go well and everyone in the Saints organization is looking forward to having Deuce back on the field in a Saints uniform in 2008.”

During the surgery, doctors also patched up some issues on Deuce’s right knee, which was originally injured back in 2005. The procedure should help eliminate any soreness stemming from the old injury.

Keep sending the good vibes ladies and gents. We just might get a Saintly miracle after all!
