Savage. While I agree, damn would hate to be sky Moore reading this.

Andy isn't a doctor or healthcare worker.

He can't violate HIPAA.

Welp, you are a WR in the NFL... you have to catch the ball, especially the ones that hit you right in both hands.

Since when has that applied to NFL injury reports on players?

No, he's just saying that because it hasn't been 100% confirmed by radiography. They know he's torn something, but they won't say it until it's 100% verified.

It doesn't.

The only thing worse than what the initial prognosis might be would be a PCL tear as well.

In which case.....fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Because that's a 2 year injury. Presuming the guy ever gets back to full speed at all.

A PCL tear would be awful.

What do hippos have to do with it?

I've always hated how fragile ACLs are. Knees are so important and we have a little rubber band holding our leg together. Its bullshit!

Yeah thats right. Now I'm mad about knees. But damn it this is for a 3peat!

The way Andy responded to the question leads you to suggest maybe's it's not the ACL. If it was, they'd know right away through imaging tests. Andy said he won't be available this Sunday which is odd verbage to use for someone suspected to have torn their ACL. He didn't sound negative or dismissive.

Anyone know how long he'd be out for a hyperextension or such?

I watched the tape of Rice's injury like ten times and I saw no twist or bend of the ACL area. It could be internal but usually an ACL injury is almost always visible on tape. That looked like a badly bruised bone just by examining tape alone.

Really hoping it wasn’t the Zach Miller career ending injury… he hyper-extended at an angle (albeit waaay more than Rice).

He tore some arteries and had a full knee dislocation. It certainly wasn’t as bad for Rice, but a similar angle.

Depends how bad it was hyperextended but most likely 4-6 weeks
