I played with a torn PCL once. Hurt to walk after some practices. Couldn't drive home one day because it hurt so bad.

 

In hindsight :flirt: Not my best decision as it was high school football

I don't know much about this kind of injury but it seems a bit irresponsible for the team to allow him to do that.

Not really. A meniscus can't heal itself and only gets worse with another injury. Partial or full tear doesn't much matter. They still cut out the torn part. They don't sew the tear back together as there is no blood supply to the tissue to make a scar.

Not really true. It depends on the tear. Many tears can be repaired. It depends on where it is. http://www.orthop.washington.edu/?q=patient-care/articles/sports/arthroscopic-meniscus-repair.html

 

I had mine repaired when it occurred in connection with an ACL tear.

Yeah. Meniscus isn't really a big deal

It can put you on the way to arthritis.
