People keep saying this. No you don't have to wait for swelling to go down before an mri is done.

PRayers up for RR

Okay, but it just seems like those "initial tests" they do to determine a torn ACL are virtually 100% accurate. MRI always seems like a formality. Any theory on what could happen to make those initial test results be a false positive?

One doctor I saw on YouTube said it's more likely an LCL

The initial tests are not always accurate. Unless things have changed a lot since my knee injuries. They basically test for stability and movement in knee. Since people have loose or tight ligaments there is a lot of grey area. So they always follow up with MRI. However with an MRI sometimes non complete tears get missed also.

My guess they did the initial MRI and didn't see a tear. So they are doing more tests and getting second opinions to make sure they didn't miss anything.

Googled:

"Your LCL (lateral collateral ligament) is a vital band of tissue on the outside of your knee. Athletes are more likely to tear it, causing a lot of pain and other symptoms. LCL tears usually heal after three to 12 weeks, depending on severity. You have to take care of yourself, though."

at this point I'm just hoping he's back for the playoffs, like Brown...

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.

Good news! It’s not an ACL, but rather a Haglund’s Deformity.

Andy Reid has described him as “week to week”.

Rashee Rice will appear homeless on the sideline until his spirit is ready for him to play again.

Shit, might as well shoot him in the head and toss him in a ditch.

Mahomes shouldn’t be diving in head first in games that are non playoff. Not should he be blocking on goal line pushes when at the 1 yard line.
