A dislocation alone will be 1-2 months. However, if there is tendon or ligament injury--which we will not know until after the MRI--the recovery could be 6 months.

I am convinced there is a black cloud over this team.

I thought he tore his ACL, MCL, or PCL based on how much pain he appeared to be in. I looked at my girlfriend and said, "he's done for the year and may not be back next year." I can deal with 6 months. I could not have dealt with 12-18.

Dude that is really hard to do. I highly doubt he tore everything.

No, I know hoos. I meant to say that I initially thought he tore either the ACL, MCL, or PCL. I realize that he probably didn't tear anything.

You mean you realize he didn't tear "everything" right? I am confused right now, but I think we are saying the same thing.

I agree with the fact that it seemed like he tore a ligament.

Yup and I pray he didn't tear anything at all.

It all depends on the severity like others have mentioned, but I've gone through the same dislocation with the tearing of my mcl as well and I was given the prognosis that after having surgery I would be pretty much back to normal after about 9 monthes because of the degree of the tear. I actually opted to just go with physical therapy and dealing with discomfort and pain occasionally, but Campbell has much better doctors and rehab services available to him so I see him having the possibility of being ready for the spring workouts or the beginning of training camp at the latest.

I felt exactly the same way and basically told my wife the same thing. Luckily we only have a one story house so I couldn't hurl myself out a window. So far I'm encouraged that it's not the Palmer, McNabb, Culpepper type injury. Even if it means he's definitely done for this season.
