Players often know when they've seriously injured something. Rice seemed to know right away - it wasn't just a reaction to pain.

Praying for a return in December and that we dodged a huge bullet.

Put him on IR, cut Skyy Moore and promote Ross and Remigio to the active roster and let’s roll. Unless Hopkins is for sale and they would deal with us. He’s basically Rice.

I think even without Hopkins, this WR group can get the job done.

Increased roles for Juju and Worthy…Pat trusts both of them. Kelce continues to look like a fighter with a couple cans of juice left. Kareem Hint looks like he took a Time Machine to 2017. Watson will likely push for more time to prove himself…he’s playing for a new deal, too. Wiley and Grey will help the underneath stuff and blocking for Hunt.

Gonna be interesting to see how they respond against NO.

This is not really true. Remember Von Miller's injury a few years ago? Took awhile to determine. Id hold off on assigning any meaning to anything right now. Just wait for the results.

BUT Im for ANYTHING that rids us of Skyy Moore.

Probably getting more opinions from specialist. They don’t want Rick Burkholder dropping the ball again like he did on Justin Houston.

I assume there is a tremendous amount of swelling and that is what is causing the lack of information. Poor sonofabitch. Hope when it goes down it is sprain or something less severe.

Because if nothing else, damn Malin Akerman looks good naked.

Nothing but truth ^here^.

Could be a bone bruise....those are painful. My knee had a full force collision with the edge of an armor plate on a 62 ton tank at one point. To say I was immediately nauseous would be an understatement. I could barely walk right for almost a month and it took almost 6 months to not have any pain on pressure. Granted it wasn't a hyperextension but if it is a bone bruise like I had it is incredibly painful.

Doctor Chao just said on twitter that swelling doesn't hamper MRI imagining. So I would assume that even with swelling they should be able to see if it's an ACL or not.

Mri would have shown the bone bruise .

Yeah, you're right. I just watched a video from a doctor who is assuming that it might be partial tear - and they have to do a hands on examine to determine the extent, which they can't do till the swelling goes down.

Who knows?

What does Dr. Nick have to say about it?

Grade 1 ACL tear is a two to four week recovery according to Google.

Swelling can make MRI results less accurate.

I'm not a doctor, but the part about the MRI not being hampered by swelling is pretty much what I had heard through the years. Drama city...

That sounds fair, but if they're seeing a tear and just can't tell how much because of the swelling, or they don't see any tear, but there could be one, it seems like they'd say that. Again, drama city...
