Richards noted on Facebook that he was looking at surgery when he returned to the United States but wouldn't be getting looked at immediately as he was heading right back to college for an exam when he landed Stateside in St. Louis, where he resides.
The early belief is he tore his meniscus.
PWInsider.com will have additional details as we can confirm them.
We wish Richards a speedy and painless recovery.
