I am naturally a pessimist, and so I’m reminding myself that this is tracking with Justin Houston’s ACL injury. His knee hyperextended in a similar way, and after worrying he tore an ACL, an MRI showed his ACL was actually not torn. However, his symptoms didn’t improve so Andrews did an exploratory treatment and said his ACL was “paralyzed” (or maybe not functional?) and he had to get surgery done anyway.
It would be amazing if Rice somehow avoided all that. I always try not to get my hopes up, however.
