Time for Creighton to get creative here.
Any updates on Glass? 2-4 week thing? I'm assuming a knee sprain? Didn't look like an ACL or a break.
I'm no doctor (and I didn't spend last night in a Holiday Inn, or whatever the commercial is)...
I assume there are two categories when it comes to ligaments:
1). Tear - that is a season ender and a long rehab following a difficult surgery. I saw Eddie Daugherty in June at The Factory. I gained a lot of empathy that day. Lot of them are tears of one or two ligaments, maybe some torn meniscus (i), etc.
2). Sprains - ACL, MCL, etc. These come in grades (I, II and III). A grade one sprain is a few weeks. Grade III is a season ender.
I don't know when the MRI was done. I assume swelling is the key here.
I think an ortho surgeon probably can tell early on based on swelling, pain level, etc. , even before the MRI, if it is a strain or tear.
Glass was definitely in pain but didn't seem as bad as a tear.
EDIT: I just found this. This leads credence to what I posted that an ortho surgeon can pretty well guess before a MRI what he or she will find.
There are significant differences between sprains and tears.
