OT: Ryan Tannehill suffers a season-ending ACL injury

That stinks. I hate to see that happen to any player, even if he's on a rival and has played us tough in the past. Wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hold up...not clear if season is entirely over

Adam Gase says Ryan Tannehill has an ACL and MCL SPRAIN. Not torn! no surgery needed

Out for week 17? If the playoffs on the line?

According to reports, the Dolphins are not sure he will be back this season.

That's a huge break for Miami if Matt Moore can keep them in it.

Was it a clean hit?

Pretty brutal. I heard there was no flag.

so here we have yet another case of a media person guessing on the severity of an injury (saying it was a torn ACL), tweeting the "news" in order to be FIRST, and then later hoping that we will forget that he was WRONG.

I am so sick of modern "journalism"

It's not fake or wrong news but as always in this day and age people that don't know what they are talking about are just assuming the media was wrong.

Tannehill still has an ACL tear, Gase can call it a sprain as much as he wants it doesn't make it less of a tear. Now how severe that ACL tear is we don't know but either way he will most probably sit out the rest of the season.

Now, what most probably happened is that the Dolphins medical staff did a lachman test on the field and most likely identified that the ACL didn't provide enough stability for the knee. And that is crucial because it is almost irrelevant what the MRI shows.. if the ACL is too damaged to provide stability to the knee then you are screwed.

So, no.. the reports so far have been particularly wrong.

Fake news

Nope, this is along the lines of a mistake, fake news is truly insidious and spells total disaster for any society that wants to function honestly. People who spread fake news are total scumbags.

I read an article on realfarmacy.com that backs this up.
