I’m not going to repeat the rumor I heard because I’m praying it’s not true.

If so, we’re not going to be happy.

Arghh.

Shoulda gave it to #24 in the owl.
The curse is real .
I'm talking 2 redheaded twins in overalls playing kick ass banjo real.

reading the article, him getting up walking and then seemingly getting is wrapped and just sitting... im not necessarily worried.

Gon' head and say it. You repeating a rumor isn't gonna magically make it (or worse) come true. And is your source someone who actually works for the team or someone who just was at the game in the 300s and saw it happen?

Impossible. Against league policy for one team to have 2 RBs named Kenneth injured at the same time.

You can walk off with an acl tear.

DeJuan Blair played for the spurs with no ACL.

DJ Dallas had a really nice deep sleep last night.

Kareem Hunt perhaps..

Yikes...I hope McIntosh's sprain is just a minor sprain and nothing more. More importantly, that he fully recovers and is able to play soon.

In meantime, if the worse case scenario happens, there are Dalvin Cook, Zeke Elliott, Leornard Fournette, and Kareem Hunt (as mentioned by SNDavidson) still waiting in free agency.

They have to wait a couple days for any swelling to go down before MRI
right?
Hope he's good..

Labeling it a sprain doesn't indicate severity. Depending on the grade, it could be a full tear. Sprain and tear can be used interchangeably.

Can they put the oversized helmet covers on the RB entire body?

Thanks for the clarification. I meant to put minor sprain. I've corrected it now.

You can diagnose an ACL tear very easily in the moment. Even if they know it's an ACL tear they wouldn't say anything until after imaging either way though. If it's something other than an ACL tear, they definitely need use to imaging, and minimizing swelling is necessary to get an accurate diagnosis.

So regardless we probably won't hear anything official until he has an MRI.

Well a significant tear of the ACL or MCL can be diagnosed clinically. Minor tears need MRI. But he could merely have some pain and swelling in his knee and they'll call it a sprain until they find out more on imaging. So it could be anything from ligaments to menisci to tendons right now. He wasn't carted off which is the best sign it's not catastrophic. About the only real bad thing would be ACL.
