Given the degree of swelling his knee undoubtedly has, he must have some intact segment of his ACL graft or it should be pretty clear cut on his MRI that he has a new, full thickness tear of the graft. That's the good news.

The bad news, it's always more challenging to repair a knee once a graft has been placed. It's obviously entirely possible if he needs another surgery, he could come back as good, not better than before. However, it's NOT accurate to assume because it's "only an ACL" that he will follow nearly the same course as A.P. - it's the possible additional injuries, altered mechanics, possible cartilage/ meniscus damage, etc. that can, and have many other times, altered a player's career and productivity.

Without seeing the scan, this is obviously guesswork. Andrews is the best, Griff is a world class athlete and if necessary, I'm sure he will rehab the hell out of it. That said, this sucks big time and well may impact his career.
