Hope its not an MCL tear. Please no.

How do you embed tweets on here by the way?

Doubt its a tear, can you walk with an MCL tear? He's walking around the sideline. Sprain seems likely.

I dont know i think you can, i could be wrong though. Sprains are not as bad and are manageable but can get reinjured worse.

The way his knee bent looked scary. Russell is gumby if he survived that with only a sprain.

Commentators stated you could, it's just a matter of how much pain you can endure.

Wilson does seem to have that Kobe Bryant level of pain tolerance.

Yes you can walk on a torn MCL. Likely just a sprain though. But you know how Wilson is

Wilson is smiling and laughing on the sideline. Not emblematic of a guy fearing his season is over.

Just to help prevent anyone losing their $#^& when they hear grade I or II MCL tear, just realize that a tear and a sprain are the exact same thing. A small tear is a sprain.... luckily the MCL typically has a good blood supply so it can often be treated non-operatively.

Looking at replay and Russ's reaction, there's a good chance there was at least some level of sprain. And again, the level of sprain goes hand in hand with the amount the ligament has "stretched" or "torn." But at this point it's all still speculation.

He just jogged into the tunnel. That's a good sign. :2thumbs:

Just jogged off the field.

Twitter doctors shut it.

He just jogged into the dressing room.

haha I laughed out loud. :lol:

You can walk and even jog with a slight tear of the MCL or ACL.

Have a feeling he's out next week for sure and maybe even the game after the bye.

The mcl I had was walkable but with a huge LIMP
If it was an mcl , we would know
Dudes tuff as nails

I'll bet anything there is zero chance he misses the game after the bye. I Might even bet he suits up next week.

For those wondering, Russ put himself back in the game. Pete had to pull him out.

Not without limping. He moved fine.

He will be fine.
