You're 100% wrong about that, too.  His foot was planted when he was hit posteriolaterally in the right knee causing valgus stress which buckled the knee medially.  It is the single most common mechanism of injury to cause internal derangement of the knee.  If you pay close attention to his foot you'll see it gets rotated externally which is transferred to the knee by the tibia.  So his knee gets twisted in three different directions at once; medially, anteriorly, and externally rotated.

Watch the video embedded in the article for yourself . . .

Quote:O’Donoghue’s Triad, also known as Terrible Triad, refers to a knee injury involving multiple ligaments and cartilage within the knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate (PCL), and medial and/or lateral meniscus (cartilage) all sustain damage. This injury is most often sustained when a lateral (from the outside) force impacts the knee while the foot is fixed on the ground. This type of injury occurs often in contact sports such as football or motocross

His mechanism of injury is a classic, textbook example of an ACL tear.  I don't need to see the MRI to know he also suffered a meniscal tear and he will need that repaired as well.  I would be highly suspicious of a MCL tear as well.
