Just sent by the team in Rapidfire:

The Rapids are set to announce today that Rapids defender Jeff Stewart had
an MRI on Monday that revealed an isolated tear of the anterior cruciate
ligament in his right knee, an injury suffered Saturday in the first half
of the Rapids' 2-0 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Stewart, who has
started in seven of the Rapids' eight games, will miss the remainder of
the season.
"Just like with Zizi, anytime you lose a player and it's season-ending,
potentially, it's going to affect the whole shape of the roster," coach
Tim Hankinson said. "On a team that needs guys that like to tackle,
(Stewart's) one of our strongest tacklers. So it's an enormous loss."
