A sprain and tear are the same thing... A torn ACL is a sprained knee. Everyone knows it is torn and he's done. Once they did the ACL test, they knew. The MRI will confirm it. Prepare yourself. I'm not being a pessimist. This is reality. Good news is we have two roster spots to work with, because Holliday is getting cut this week, also.

Who was the MLB from the Dolphins who "retired" last year?

EDIT:Channing Crowder! Was a good ILB in a 3-4 defense. A little weird with his comments but a solid player.

Just an FYI: the OP didn't change the thread title. One of the mods did.

You can work back from a sprain with rehab. AJ had an MCL or PCL partial tear or sprain and was out 6-8 weeks before returning.


That said, I'm accepting it now. Too many sources are confirming it to for it to be false at this point.

I am not familiar with the various ligament injuries in a knee...so am wondering if this is something you put a brace on and you're not obviously 100% but yet you're still able to function relatively well.

THoughts?

Adrian Peterson tore his ACL in late December 2011 and he is started this season playing.

I came on late. May I ask what the thread title said originally? It just say Cushing injury. I'm hopeful it's not serious just like everybody else.

Owen Daniels:

We made enough plays.

Losing Cush is tough. First big adversity we have to deal with this year. Thoughts with him, hope for a full recovery. We dealt with it last year. A team thing for us this year. It's the way it is. We have a good team. Hopefully guys step up and we'll be alright.

It has been changed back to the original title. For a while it said - Out for the Season

We are about to find out if texans are really super bowl or bust..

[SheTexan]

Wade will fix it! NOT Cush's knee, but, the huge hole that will occur IF Cush is out for the year! Just gotta have faith in the man to get it done. As JJ Watt said in his interview, Wade Phillips is a genius! So, there is no reason for us not to believe that he will take care of business. Our D gives credit to every man on the team, and they will work extra hard to fill in the gap. Our season is not over with one loss! As long as our boys believe, then I will believe!!

[ItsMyFault]

**** this ****. Our rush D is going to hurt significantly without Cushing. I don't even care of this win. We just lost one of our 3 best defensive players.

[Big Lou]

WTF happened to the title of the thread, I'm so confused!!!!!

ESPN reporter.. nuff said.

And let's be honest here, teams aren't exactly forth coming early on. They probably listed him as questionable, because they didn't know what the hell was going on yet.. when they took him back to the locker room, he was then listed as "will not return".. that's what I'd go by.

Degrees of sprain. A complete tear is a sprain.. A slight tear is a sprain. These injuries are all called "sprains" initially. Then, after the confirming MRI, they reveal surgery... Again, though, everyone involved knows it. A torn ACL is very easy to diagnosis and doesn't get misdiagnosed. If that lower leg moves forward when it is pulled on, the ACL is torn.

Ha! Funny,

I originally typed out: "Brian Cushing injury"

Then someone changed it to "Brian Cushing torn ACL...out for the season"

Now it's back to my original title. Weird.

[Tailgate]

I could care less about the win right now. Its going to take me a while to adjust to this. I feel sick.
