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.

Judging from watching it live. I would say he is done for the year and hope it was just an ACL. But I said the same thing when Mahomes knee was side ways.
They have obviously had an MRI by now and reports coming out saying they have not confirmed an ACL tear. Which does not mean their isn't atleast a partial tear. But does not seem like they saw it in the imaging.
But right now there is no reason not to be a little cautiously optimistic from what they have reported today.
