THat's my guess, anyway. When a dude rolls up on your leg like that. Torn ACL, my guess. Damn shame... If he's lucky, it's just a knee sprain or something.
I'm guessing you didn't see MNF. On the last drive, a DT came falling through the offensive line just as Ben went to step forward and throw. The guys head went right into his knee just as his leg was braced on the ground and his knee buckled. You have to see the highlight. He might be okay but it looked real nasty.
Nope, you can't really tell. You can walk straight on a torn ACL just fine. What you cant do is turn. But it just might be a hyperextension. I don't know.
Not to mention the adrenalin -- and shock -- can kinda muffle the pain of the actual injury.
And thanks! Now they just gotta stop celebrating, shower, pack, fly halfway across the country, sleep, get up, go to the ballpark, and play a playoff game in less than a day. With a decimated pitching staff. No problem.
Over here in Jet-land, we're suffering through TWO quarterbacks down with major injuries. Gonna have to rely on our running backs and "D" to take us through the season.
According to ESPN, they said it was a Hyper-Extended Knee with a bone bruise. He's not supposed to play next week and it seems to be a "weeks" instead of "months" deal which is very good. But boy - it sure looked scary.
Mom said on the local news he might even play this weekend. I sure as hell hope not since that would involve lots of pain killers and risk permanent damage
The ESPN NFL people were saying that it was just a smokescreen by the coach to make the other team have to gameplan for both Quarterbacks. I'd be very suprised if he played.

My Washington team isn't too badly hit by injuries. They just can' make plays on Defense or actually score.
