I am not sure what Andy can and can't say due to HIPAA but he typically errors on the side of nothing.
This is not hopeful to me. The MRI will determine whether its just an ACL, or an ACL with other issues. Guessing no fracture because xray would show that.

Since when has that applied to NFL injury reports on players? [Reply]
No, he's just saying that because it hasn't been 100% confirmed by radiography. They know he's torn something, but they won't say it until it's 100% verified. [Reply]
#Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters today Rashee Rice is still undergoing tests, an indication that full answers may not come today. But safe to say he’s out indefinitely. https://t.co/d5IvdEB8wk
The way Andy responded to the question leads you to suggest maybe's it's not the ACL. If it was, they'd know right away through imaging tests. Andy said he won't be available this Sunday which is odd verbage to use for someone suspected to have torn their ACL. He didn't sound negative or dismissive. [Reply]

Anyone know how long he'd be out for a hyperextension or such? [Reply]
I watched the tape of Rice's injury like ten times and I saw no twist or bend of the ACL area. It could be internal but usually an ACL injury is almost always visible on tape. That looked like a badly bruised bone just by examining tape alone. [Reply]
Really hoping it wasn’t the Zach Miller career ending injury… he hyper-extended at an angle (albeit waaay more than Rice).
He tore some arteries and had a full knee dislocation. It certainly wasn’t as bad for Rice, but a similar angle.
Sometimes, I think about how Zach Miller got a TD taken away from him the last time the Bears played the Saints in the Superdome. He deserved better.https://t.co/xXct7F7MBjpic.twitter.com/tYviKFrkoJ
