MAJBobby Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I just want to know if it is the same knee he hurt last year. Has that been reported yet?
ganesh Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 14 hours ago, skibum said: A clean ACL tear generally doesn't warrant crutches or a brace. There's a little swelling and occasional instability in certain situations, but walking and even running in a straight line (once the initial swelling goes down) feels pretty normal. Unless you tear a bunch of other stuff at the same time... The positive sign here, hopefully, is that the lack of crutches/brace means he probably doesn't have a lot of collateral damage to cartilage or other ligaments. If he tore the ACL, it was probably a clean one and he'll recover 100% with the kind of rehab he will have access to. Here's hoping it's not that, though! Also NFL teams will not take chances, whether he needs one or not. They would want to immobilize it.

Gugny Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Right knee was injured in high school (MCL pull) and again in 2015 (ACL tear). It's the same knee that was hurt yesterday. http://sportsinjurypredictor.com/player/kelvin-benjamin/6952

The ACL gives stability in certain scenarios, but when it is torn there are still 3 major ligaments holding the femur and tibia together, plus the meniscus helping keep things aligned and articular cartilage providing cushioning between the bones. It's trauma to those other elements that would require bracing or non-weight bearing after an ACL tear - but that trauma is very common because of the force required to tear a ligament. I got lucky and I hope KB did too! Yep. Done both myself and this is all correct. Pulling for KB!

The fact that it came as our rookie QB, making his debut, completed a nice play action strike up the gut for, what, 15 yards down the middle, only to have the new WR1 he displays a rapport with immediately go down, probably for the rest of the season... does it get more Billsy than that? It was actually a 20 yard completion not 15. That's how.

BillsFan4 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Great to hear there is no ligament damage! Hopefully it's just more of a Zay Jones hyperextension type thing and he'll be back in a week or two... fingers crossed!
Sweats Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Yet another fantastic FO acquisition............oh boy.
Hebert19 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I just want him, Zay, clay and Matthews on the field at the same time. Is that so muck to ask? 2
QCity Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 It's not the same knee either, in 2015 he tore up his left knee.
