Another thing people are overlooking is that Smith also tore his LCL, meaning it's a tissue injury as well. So that's two major injuries instead of one. From what I've read from athletes, when tearing both of those it can take up to 8-10 months to even start practicing

His knee is going to be scrutinized every step of the way. The LCL tear has more long term questions than the ACL.

Smith's injuries are severe enough to write off 2016 for the most part. I think he like Ced may be available when we draft, if some are fortunate enough to have the roster and no glaring need (hopefully once we address any be getting some of our guys back or FA) so unlike others, we can roll the dice.
