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? [Reply]

The number of posts in this thread.
Keep posting for a full recovery.

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

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. [Reply]

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." [Reply]

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

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. [Reply]

Heard u have a rare condition where you go into cardiac arrest if you don't get enough cock [Reply]
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. [Reply]
