You read something false, then. He was assisted by 2 trainers and had a look of big time pain on his face & put next to no weight on his busted wheel.

I think it WILL be just a sprain. I HOPE.

hate to be voice of gloom, but x-rays dont say anything about mcl or acl tears, they just show bone breaks, not muscle tears. You need an MRI for that.

trust me, I know, I've had both acl's reconstructed due to sporting injuries, and I did jog off the field on one of them. They probabaly wont be able to do the MRI until the morning, after they have iced it and got some of the swelling down. Knee injuries are always called sprains until they do the MRI.

I hope Hastings is right, most of the time when a player has to leave the field with assitance that is usually not a good sign.

ESPN

ESPN just reported that it is his ankle and knee and that while X-Rays were negative, an MRI is scheduled for tommorrow. MRI reveal tears, not X-rays. So were not out of the woods yet.

i wasnt pointing fingers. like i said, a number of people were only reporting what they heard, others were deliberatly wishing for it to be serious.

lol he was on about the people hoping it was An ACL tear, not those who were just reporting what they heard.

For the record, I was not hoping for an ACL. It may just be a game ending injury, not a season-ender.

atleast that shuts up you people HOPING it was an ACL tear you chef classless fans. Your a sad group of people.

I'm no Chefs fan. :\ That's just what I'd heard from my station, which just goes to prove I shouldn't have been watching that station.

I couldn't read lips, but it looked like Sharpe was complaining about Portis still being in at the time of the injury...maybe not.

Dude, that's awesome. At least you can rehab and get treatment. CP's a tough little guy anyway. Hope he's full speed in time for the Dolts.
