Surgical treatment is usually advised in dealing with combined injuries (ACL tears in combination with other injuries in the knee). However, deciding against surgery is reasonable for select patients. Nonsurgical management of isolated ACL tears is likely to be successful or may be indicated in patients:
-With partial tears and no instability symptoms39
-With complete tears and no symptoms of knee instability during low-demand sports who are willing to give up high-demand sports
-Who do light manual work or live sedentary lifestyles
-Whose growth plates are still open (children)

Hate to say it, but RG3 might end up being another great 30 for 30.

hopefully he has AP's number so he can get an appointment with that doctor.

I'd be willing to bet they were damaged/sprained prior to that play. Knee looked lax before and he had that large brace. Knee buckled ridiculously easy on the injury play.

That doesn't seem to be the case. His knee was visibly unstable.
