DT Vernon Butler Did NOT Tear ANY Major Ligaments In Knee

[Saca312]

Phew. We dodged a huge bullet:

Here's to a speedy recovery for Butler and ready to ambush QBs on the field.

and by "major" we mean??

other damage?

I see the tweet and yet I'm still not optimistic

well at least we know for sure it's not the ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL and the lateral/medial meniscus, so we'll definitely see him back this year.

Even without major damage he could still miss significant time. For a man his size, we aren't talking about a linebacker here, suffering back to back lingering leg injuries is very concerning moving forward considering where we drafted him.

Now I can feel somewhat relieved. Good news.

Sooo...only minor ones then ? Odd wording IMO

[OneBadCat]

Most excellent. He'll be an important piece this year.

i think it's just the phrasing. By saying, "any major ligaments," i'm sure he means no tears at all. 

[Chief Keek]

That's good news, still anxiously awaiting the official report though.

Leonard Floyd could have a big year.

My guess is he will be on IR designated to return list

Nah, too soon for that. He will be playing in September sometime.

Just wondering, has any athlete torn all of those?

Great news...
