According to a press release issued by the school, Ingram underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday morning. Ingram sustained the injury during practice Monday.
The 2009 Heisman winner will miss the opener this weekend, and will then, with a showdown with Penn State looming the second weekend, be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
"Mark Ingram sustained a left knee injury late in Monday's practice," said UA coach Nick Saban in a statement. "It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season.
"Mark had an arthroscopic procedure this morning with Dr. Lyle Cain and Dr. James Andrews and it was successful. We have full confidence in our medical staff and we know the doctors and athletic trainers will do an outstanding job in taking care of Mark and assisting him in his rehab."
