This is exactly what I said to the people I was watching the game with- I said ACL out for the year and then he got up and walked off. Must have been adrenaline.

We had 2 torn ACL's in Friday night. Both kids had MRI and results on Monday.

No it doesn't. You can find out the extent of an injury in about 3-4 hours. With TCU's resources probably quicker

Just because he came back in doesn't mean anything. I remember Bob Griffin coming back in the game in 09' and threw 3 tds. We know what happenned next.

With a strong dude like that he can get up, walk, and do normal stuff, just can't jump, cut, or accelerate. If old guys like us blow out an ACL, they sometimes let it go. NFL caliber running backs, not so much.

My buddy who blew out his ACL playing college soccer was telling me that the vast majority of ACL injuries are non-contact injuries (just like this one). See Jamaal Charles stepping on the 1st down marker last year as a recent reminder for you fantasy football players.

Except that we were in Kansas. I'm pretty sure he didn't get an MRI Saturday night and good chance not on a Sunday either. Just my opinion.

Also a big difference between completely blowing it out and just having a small tear. Both end your year, but one is WAY uglier and harder to recover from.

Don't think he came back in

There is a reason he didn't get that first down and it isn't because he slipped.
Maybe a blessing in disguise- Waymon gets the medical redshirt, the rest of the team grows up around him, and he gets to lead a dangerous team next year to a shot at the Big 12 title and maybe even the big one.

MRI would have been done on Sat or Sun with results soon after the imaging- it definitely could be a noncontact ACL injury, but not sure why Patterson's response was 'game-time decision' if there was indeed a season-ending injury before a nonconference game in which we're favored.

Yeah but how did he get off the field by himself and so quickly?
Yes, he did.

Not every ACL injury involves having to be carted off be field. MLB pitchers often continue to pitch with tears in their UCL. Waymon may well be perfectly fine walking/running in a straight line. Stopping/cutting would be a whole different story.

By the way he grabbed the front of his knee it looks like an ACL. Being a RB and by the size of that guys Quad's, it is possible for him to walk off on his own. The strength in his quadrecep alone can compensate for his ACL tear and let him walk. I hope it's nothing and the kid is alright.

Waymon James isn't staying past next year even if he gets a medical redshirt. Runningback in the NFL is a young mans position more than any other. For Waymon's own sake he needs to get to the NFL. Six years in college for a runningback is a waste of "money earning" years for a runningback like James.
There is a reason why so many elite college runningbacks (Peterson, Bush, etc.) only stay three years in college.
