2. Whatever happened, the knee popped right back into place, on it's own
3. As mentioned by Breech, there may be a tear of the meniscus (which indeed is a bit more complicated), but that's it.

I still don't see why everyone is freaking out so much; MCLs heal quicker than ACLs (MUCH quicker). Torn menusicus heals quicker than ACLs. PCLs and LCLs heal quicker than ACLs.

As Breech said, barring no setbacks, this should be a 6-9 month recovery time; what makes additional stuff on top of the ACL, "so bad!"? Do you think your body only heals one thing at a time?

Seriously? 

I don't get why your say this just to be argumentative. Everyone just heard the news that the MRI outcome was worse than hoping for a franchise QB. And I think you might not be putting too much emphasis on that "barring setback" statement. Regardless of current medical tech and the number of players you can point at that have went through this, the more damage there was the higher the risk that recovery time is extended or that he's never able to become the same player. 

You know exactly why people are concerned that this could be a serious impact on his future ability. If you want to live in the sunshine future that this is all trivial and he'll be back better than before that's wonderful for you.
