Kellie said it is not a torn ACL but that she is out indefinitely.

That's good news. Hopefully she's back by the time conference play begins!

 

[Darth_Vol]

Under the circumstances, I would say that is probably the best news we could have received...

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Great news. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a meniscus or similar.

I’m happy to hear it isn’t her ACL; I’m not sure how to take “indefinitely” but one of Tess, Brooklyn, Wynn, Puckett will have to truly step up. Walker needs to be more of a scoring threat. Otherwise this team is in for a “grind it out” type of season

Last season that seemed to become a thing. Indefinitely was one game for some players and all season for others. They kept saying “indefinitely” every time Rhyne Howard was out last season but I believe it was only a game or two most times. A few more at one point.

If nothing is torn you would think she would be back by at least January. Sprained knee or hyperextension takes from 2 to 6 weeks to heal. Anything torn would be most of the season or the season as that would need surgery.

 

[Voluble2]

It sounds like this was the best case scenario we could have hoped for so hopefully we caught a break here.

Rae works very hard and it would be a shame if she had to miss the whole season. Here's to a quick recovery.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

Rae is in good spirits was kind of live tweeting during the game and wished Andraya Carter a HBD… I hope she has a quick recovery

kelly said they are monitor the knee could need a few days to see how bad her knee is

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Hearing 2-3 weeks hope this is true.

If it’s 2-3 weeks this team wil be REALLY good come tourney time with everyone outside of Rae playing expanded minutes currently and over the next few games.

Oh god please let this be trueeeeee

 

[VolBall09]

Hearing 2-3 weeks hope this is true.

Lord I hope this is true! Could actually end up being a good thing. Forces some of the younger players to step up early here. Sets us up for success if we have Rae moving back to full speed entering SEC play.

Don’t see anything on Rae leg

Can't see the leg, but sure doesn't look like any kind of brace is on it, but I bet it's wrapped up tight.

A better angle shows she has a brace on the ankle do any injury experts know what it might be for

Could be an ice pack, maybe a strained calf? Only could be an ankle brace for a high ankle sprain. I’ve seen braces like that for broke fibula but usually they got up closer to the knee. Hard to tell. Just going to hope it heals quickly and fully

Also looks like they did a little shoot around or something maybe. Everyone is dressed like they were playing a bit. Maybe Rae was getting some shots up?

The dreaded high ankle sprain is something that takes a long time to heal hopefully not that or at least not a bad one. It does appear to be some kind of sprain looked swelled up if just 2 to 3 weeks like poster said will be awesome.

 

[Volfan2012]

Here is why I hope it is not a high ankle sprain. Six weeks is usually the best that happens with it.

Healing from a high ankle sprain can take anywhere from six weeks to three months — sometimes even more. Healing time depends on how badly you've injured the soft tissue and if there was any bone damage.

Could just be a brace she normally wears that is loosened right now as well. When she went down she was most definitely feeling around on her knee.

 

[Volfan2012]

If it is a Knee sprain would probably be the best senario.

Typically, a grade 1 knee sprain or a grade 2 knee sprain involving the MCL or LCL will heal in 2 to 4 weeks. More severe sprains or injuries involving the other ligaments may take anywhere from 4 months to an entire year

I'm going out on a limb here and say it may be an ankle injury.

That would be a miracle considering how bad it looked...
