ACL tears don’t heal on their own due to lack of blood supply.. So it depends on the stability of the knee and the muscles around it..
Hopefully it isn’t a tear in a knee ligament.. Don’t think it would be wise to play WR with one.. [Reply]

Yea, I was wondering on this, he’d basically have to have a grade 1 acl sprain (AKA a stretched one), to be able to play?
But grade 2, a slight actual tear — I think that’d have to be surgery [Reply]

What this guy is saying is that we can't do the hands on test to see the degree of translation (the knee isn't a true hinge it does have some anterior and posterior translation to it) and then the rotational component as well.
In all likelyhood, it's a partial tear. And we just don't know until they can do a full battery of hands on test to see the extent.
He'll be back this season. It's the best news we could have gotten.

But this all makes sense as to why they are waiting and most def why they haven't put him on IR yet.
I mean I'm just being optimistic here, but he'll be back this season.

Now who could the "birdie" be exactly? Well he shares a text chain that includes Brett Veach and talks directly to Mahomes via dm. So I'd say his sources are probably very good.
So I did <2 minutes of scrolling through his posts and he gives 20% chance on rice being able to return during the season and also tells someone it's not time to cut him (from a fantasy roster) yet but probably soon. [Reply]
