Pettigrew will undergo knee surgery which will end his rookie season, MLive.com reports.
Recommendation: Will Heller and Casey FitzSimmons will see a bigger role in the offense now that Pettigrew is done. His rookie season was a little bit of a disappointment, but he battled injuries from training camp on, so some of his inconsistencies can be excused.

Pettigrew left Thursday's game against Green Bay with a left knee injury.
Advice: Pettigrew was engaged with Packers linebacker Clay Matthews in the second minute of the game when his knee buckled. The injury was severe enough that several Green Bay defenders started waving the Detroit training staff onto the field. Pettigrew, who caught the winning touchdown pass on the final play of Sunday's 38-37 win over Cleveland, walked off the field with help. He was examined by trainers before being helped back to the locker room.
