Kelvin Benjamin carted off at practice

Im trying to wrap my head around Ron's logic of having these guys cut on wet grass after these storms rolled through the Carolinas the 24hrs.

FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!! I just remembered he's on my damn fantasy team. I get screwed twice.

Here's the thing guys: coaches are sometimes overly optimistic. And a lot of times, other team personnel think something is worse than it is. Unless the "sense" Voth was talking about came from an actual medical personnel guy, it's meaningless. Not one person out there: Rivera, KB, not even the Panther trainer knows how serious it is until he has that MRI done. Trying to read into what others are tweeting is pointless. Everyone saw the same thing you did on that video and that's all they know.

The training staff knows.  A torn ACL is easy to diagnose through manual manipulation of the joint.  The MRI just confirms

These are the moments when you really regret cutting Steve Smith.

nope. 

[AceBoogie]

Good news for you. Now you have a reason to be pessimistic again.

Mr. Scot, I'm waving the white flag. Not today.

If anyone is hanging around Carolinas Medical Center Radiology Department and has a phone........

Rivera isn't lying or being exactly optimistic, a sprain is a stretch/tear. Just depends on the grade. Grade 1 is slight damage and loosing, grade 2 is moderate stretching, grade 3 is complete tear. From watching slow mo video, It looks like the knee buckles forward before rolling laterally. Looks like MCL sprain grade 2 in best case, but if my eyes aren't decieved in the video, probably an injury to MCL and ACL. Won't say they both completely tore, but it looked bad.

This is devastating to our offense.  Period.

My son is in the Physical Therapy field and I showed him the video

He said the way the knee buckled, it looked to be the MCL and ACL that would be effected, but not sure how severe.

Grade 1  2-4 weeks

Grade 2  6-8 weeks

Grade 3 (complete tear) well, we know the answer on that one

Are you the same guy I see from time to time in the Tbox?  Actually, since most of the negative people congregate there, you are probably safer here.  Good move

[Castavar]

Our offense is going to be absolute sh*t now. Our offense was solid sh*t before this, now it's liquid sh*t. Oh well, hopefully Funchess really is the next KB this season.

[Montsta]

I realize everyone is nervous/angry/frustrated, but stop going after one another with personal insults or I'll give you a two hour timeout and leave you to just your imagination to guide you on the extent of KB's injury.

exactly what I keep thinking after watching the video. Looks like it buckles twice, once forward, second laterally. 

Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like a grade 2-3 MCL/ACL sprain.
