Rams QB Sam Bradford will have MRI on left knee following return flight to St. Louis. Fisher said he does not know extent of injury.

Might as well get a thread going on this subject. Everything hinges on it at this point.

Thanks for putting this up, moklerman.

I don't know how the process works; but the fact it's unknown at this point feels a little like good news. In other words, if it was obvious ACL/MCL, we'd know already.

See ya next year Sam.

Good news my butt.

Immobilized and crutches = serious injury. ACL or MCL tear. If it was anything else he would be able to walk.

 

[HometownBoy]

Sounds significant, with the way he was writhing and supposedly Fisher sounding dejected in the post game doesn't paint a good picture.

Yeah, I guess you could be right.

Then again; it's the starting QB. Better safe than sorry on anything knee related.

If they don't know what it is I would assume they would treat it like a worse case scenario until they do

 

[Juggs]

The way he hit his knew I wouldn't think a ligament year or strain. Possible dislocated knee cap or broken. Maybe just a bone bruise. But it's anyone's guess at this point

Yeah. What he said.

 

[V3]

My guess is a partial tear in one or multiple ligaments.

 

[-X-]

The way he was writhing around in pain on the ground tells me it was more than a sprain.

Oh I guarantee they know a lot more but will not say it until it is confirmed with an MRI tomorrow.

I also don't think the angle(s) of the play that were shown would be of any help as to guessing what the injury was, as I didn't see anything really happen to his leg/knee. It didn't appear that it was turned one way or another. But seeing him being carted off and having trouble to get back up isn't a good thing.

I clearly saw his knee buckle a bit on the leg plant and he dropped the football in agony immediately at that point.

 

[jrry32]

It looked like a torn patellar to me.

 

[A55VA6]

With those ACL injuries alot of the time it looks like a small tweak or that barely anything happened. Hope for maybe a sprain but I think it's possible he's out for a while..

 

[CGI_Ram]

The MCL is on the side of the knee, right? Since there was no twisting, the MCL is probably okay.

That leaves the ACL and the Patellar as the likely candidates. I'm with jrry, I'm thinking it's the Patellar.

 

[Graphicker]

He shouldn't fly.. The altitude will make the swelling worse.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Schefter reports the team is concerned about it. My guess is season ending.

Which would mean a lot of big changes.

I never knew that saying was "It's going to get worse before it gets worse". Wonder why I always had that wrong?
