Look I'm not trying to shit on anyone's optimism or hope, but I'm thinking the delayed confirmation is because it's a more complex injury, not a less complex injury.
If he didn't have an ACL tear, they'd say that already. If it was partially torn, they'd say that already as well. Those are pretty straight forward assessments. Also, the on-field drawer test (for knee ligament laxity) is usually pretty darn accurate (94%) for NFL-level trainers.
He caught a full-force dad-bod Mahomes dive into his knee while he was also running in the opposite direction and his foot was planted. Everything Reid has said sounded ominous.
I'm hopeful as well, but I think the delay is because it's a more complex injury and they need more experts to look at it.
