In all seriousness, I immediately thought it was an MCL or an ACL. The guy hit w/a lot of lateral momentum from in front, but he was above the knee, so it looked like the PCL would be fine. The report that the ACL is fine was great news. The fact that the contact was helmet to knee made me think bone bruise as well. The cool thing is: MCL sprains and bone bruises heal themselves over time, w/rest. Then, you just need to get back into football shape.
I could totally be wrong. I'm not a doc, but I tore both ACLs, R MCL (x2), L MCL, L PCL, L retinaculum, L&R meniscus, so I have gotten some experience recognizing mechanism of injury when it comes to the knees.
Holy s**t! That's a lot of knee injuries.
Yeah, most of the injuries were football, but I also did an MCL and a sublexed patella in the Rangers. Bad luck and family history of weak knees = bad combo.

All fixed up now, but it does suck having advancing arthritis in both knees at 32 years old.

Only the L knee happened all at once. That was an ACL, MCL, PCL, retinaculum, meniscus, bone bruise. Iw was a totall cheap shot, but I bobbled the pass, which slowed me down in getting squared up. All the rest of the stuff was spread out at different times.
