Miami's Thomas has knee surgery
Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas underwent knee surgery on Friday.
The successful procedure was performed to repair a tear of the lateral meniscus in his left knee.
Thomas will begin rehab and will be evaluated just before the team begins training camp on July 31.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection has led the Dolphins in tackles in seven of the past eight seasons, including the 2003 campaign when he made 184 stops -- 113 of which were solo. He also had three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one sack last season.
