How could they know that so fast? I'm sure he hasn't had an MRI already, much less evaluated.
Well that sucks. He does a lot for this team other than just being a beast on the field. I wish him a speedy recovery and with his work ethic hopefully it will go good for him.on my first one the Dr grabbed my leg and 5 sec later said he was 99% sure it was the ACL. He said he would do the mri if I wanted but there was no need. I'm sure Nick will still get the MRI but those Dr's are very good.

I'm a physical therapist, and I can oftentimes tell by watching the hit, what the likely injury is.......I didn't see the game, but the trainers do a few different tests........when someone has a torn ACL, there is alot of movement when you do these tests, and the diagnosis is nearly 100% accurate........
If it was a bone fracture, it would take an x-ray to confirm a diagnosis.....so they wouldn't have had that info this quickly.......the only other thing it could be is a quad tear or a patellar tendon tear, but those injuries are very rare.......so it's probably torn ACL, with possible other ligament tears (MCL, etc.), and medial meniscus tear as well ;(
Sucks.........:no:
