Who's saying torn ACL? Word is that he suffered a hyperextended knee.

The Eagles are initially calling the injury suffered by Jeremy Maclin on Tuesday "a hyperextended left knee."
This doesn't sound so bad, but an MRI could always reveal a more serious injury. So we'll wait on guessing any timetables for return. By all accounts, Maclin looked to be in serious pain on the field, and the Eagles huddled for prayer after practice. Expect Maclin to at least miss the rest of the week.

Yeah, definitely one of those walk in the park injuries. I could totally deal with this without flinching.

Hyperextended knee. In this injury, your knee extends beyond its normally straightened position so that it bends back on itself.

Immediate pain that worsens when you try to walk or bend your knee

A popping sound

An inability to bear weight on the injured knee

A feeling that the knee might buckle or give way

Hyperextended knee recovery time, may require about six to nine months. This is the time a patient must wait before returning to sports, especially if he/she has undergone a surgery. Very mild cases, may take an average of 1 - 2 weeks for recuperation, but by far it all depends upon the extent and graveness of the injury.

Perhaps Kolb has lost his mind and is giving his receivers the Tanya Harding treatment.

Torn ACL was a speculation, obviously it is not, it's a hyper-extended knee as you mentioned.

Smootsmack doesn't know anything. That's why Julius Peppers is currently a Skin. Pfft, Smootsmack. More like Smootwrong359.

However if it's as bad as it sounds then it might as well be a torn ACL if the injury is the six to nine months variety.

Torn ACL isn't ruled out yet. I'm just sayin'...

Giants lose WR Domenik Hixon to torn ACL after accident on new Meadowlands stadium turf - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com

New York Giants WR Domenik Hixon will miss the 2010 season as the result of a torn right ACL.

Hixon suffered in the team's workout at the new Meadowlands stadium on Tuesday. Coach Tom Coughlin had initially said he was hopeful the injury was not serious. GM Jerry Reese had said on Sirius NFL Radio that the injury was a hyperextended knee.

When you hyper extend your knee, you are very likely to at least tear some cartilage if not some ligaments.

I think Maclin will miss most of the season. He was supposed to be their 2 this yr after a strong rookie campaign. Speaking of WR's.. SmootSmack have u heard anything else on Vincent Jackson?

Please let me handle this. It's obvious that I'm a top doctor at John Hopkins.

John Hopkins... is that like the South Harmon Institute of Technology?

Kind of. Though I still say that S.H.I.T has a much better focus on liberal arts. While John Hopkins has an excellent alternative new age treatment program.
