It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Hoping that it’s just a MCL sprain, and that he comes back later in the year. It seems as though there is a lot of concern though, not to mention his knee injury history.He got helmet taps,helmet taps doesn't mean see you next week or in a few weeks after that.Helmet taps means work hard on recuperation and see you next year.I've seen it with Lewis,Gronk and Edelman really hope I'm wrong and that someone is preparing a dish of
crow for me.
Feel terrible for Michel but sadly this is not an unexpected outcome. MANY of us had real reservations about drafting a RB in the 1st round, nevermind a RB with KNEE problems and we said so at the time. This team had/has glaring holes on defense and those needs were not addressed with those 1st round draft choices.
Not a second guess at all, Sony Michel was a VERY DUMB pick considering where in the draft you picked him Bill.
A friend of mine said hes out for the year too.I heard he’s out for the season but only from this guy that’s a jerk
RB- Jordan Howard
RB - Derrick Henry
RB- Orleans Darkwa
RB- CJ Anderson
RB- Ameer Abdullah
RB- Mike Gillislee
But is he a jerk?A friend of mine said hes out for the year too.

He's a pro athlete and can get the artificial meniscus impant that's trying to hit the market. The cut out all the old meniscus and pop in a soft gel plastic disc that literally just slides into the normal gap and your good. Whether it can allow him to play sports is another story.
So, what do we blame more for this injury? The bad turf at Soldier Field or tacklers bringing him down like that?
One thing I think about as far as precedence, RB Frank Gore’s knees were way worse coming out of college than Michel’s, and look at HIS career. So even if Michel is gone for the year (I pray he’s not), doesn’t mean he can’t have a great career.
I'm 99% sure Pass had a cramp and didn't just abandon the ball, he aggressively threw it at the ground so he could grab at his owie. It really goes along with the stuff in one of the Pats books from the early 2000s where the coaches thought Pass was the type of guy to try to avoid playing if he had a hang nail.
I'm not big on criticizing players who are doing something physically I could never do, but I'd say I'll give Michel a pass because that was brutal looking.
One could argue that we should have drafted Darius Leonard. He's having a wonderful rookie season over in Indy, and went about 5 picks later.
I've actually been waiting (hoping) for something like this for my own knee. My orthopedic doctor passed away around the time I was supposed to get a new knee so I've put it off for a couple of years. With all of the horror stories I've heard about new knees I decided that mine isn't bad enough to take that risk.
I'm not an NYFL running back though. Here's hoping that Michel makes a full recovery no matter how that happens.
