Sorry to be doom and gloom, but walking without crutches does not equal being ready to play linebacker in the NFL. The guy completely tore his MCL. We'll see him after the bye, most likely.

LMAO, no he did not completely tear his MCL, in fact there was no tear. It was a level 3 MCL sprain, had one in high school it hurts like a *****. Going to be up his pain tolerance. He would miss well passed the Bye if it was a tear. Your doom and gloom is unwarrented.

The symptoms and severity of MCL injuries are evaluated on a scale of 1-3.


Grade 1 = your ligament remains intact with only a few fibers partially torn. Symptoms are minimal and you are able to bear weight with only mild pain.


Grade 2 = your ligament is still intact but a larger percentage of fibers are torn. Symptoms include more significant pain and swelling, as well as instability with cutting or pivoting movements.


Grade 3 = your tendon is completely torn. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and bruising. Instability and stiffness are very common.

MCL Tear

a level 3 MCL sprain is a full tear

but it is just speculation that it was level 3

if the guy is walking around without crutches and is limp free after 2 weeks then it's probably not a grade 3 MCL tear.
