Possible PCL tear or sprained knee. ACL seems fine. Would be huge news if true
We love Ware!

PCL tear is worse than ACL

PCL tear keeps you out longer than an ACL

An injury to the PCL can cause mild to severe damage. Doctors classify PCL injuries in these groups:
Grade I: The PCL has a partial tear.
Grade II: The ligament is partially torn and is looser than in Grade I.
Grade III: The ligament is completely torn and the knee becomes unstable.
Grade IV: The PCL is damaged along with another ligament in the knee.
Surgery for a torn PCL requires replacing it with new tissue rather than stitching together the torn ligament. The ligament may be replaced with:
Tissue from a deceased donor
Piece of tendon moved from somewhere else in the body, such as the back of the thigh or heel
The operation is sometimes done as an "open" surgery. This requires a large incision in the knee.
A less-invasive option involves a tool called an arthroscope. The surgeon uses smaller incisions.
After surgery, the length of time needed for rehabilitation can range from 26 to 52 weeks.

He has an injured PCL. Timetable for return could be as little as 2 weeks. MRI to come to see how much damage was done.
