Hopefully it isn’t a tear in a knee ligament.. Don’t think it would be wise to play WR with one..
You seem pretty knowledgeable - I have used PRP therapy for meniscus tear and a few other “minor” injuries. Is something like a partial ligament tear treatable with PRP? [Reply]
Sorry if this has been covered, but with RR's pending legal issues and the NFL's response to that situation, is there a chance the Chiefs are keeping their cards as close to their chest as possible (within the league's rules) and playing some level of suspension chicken? [Reply]

I have used PRP on my shoulder and knee. Was successful with my shoulder. It kept me up at night after my Sunday golf game before the procedure. PRP Didn't anything for my knee which wasn't a surprise. I'm bone on bone and nothing short of knee replacement will cure that.
I've had two ACL surgeries. One on each knee. One was a complete tear and the other was just barely attached. Usually meniscus damage goes hand in hand with ACL injuries..
The first thing I thought when I saw the replay of Rices injury is a meniscus tear.. [Reply]

My girlfriend is a doctor (and is Asian). She says it's likely 6 to 8 weeks before Rice returns. For what it's worth. [Reply]
