He could have some floating cartilage in there or even a minor MCL injury. I do not imagine in the scheme of football injuries, that this is something long term

Meniscal tear or MCL injury is what I would suspect. If the medical staff was worried about a more significant injury they would probably have him non-weight bearing, in a brace, or at least a bag of ice to reduce swelling.
