September 27, 201511 yr I saw the replay. Hard to tell how bad it is. Is their backup any good? If not it will be the L Bell show the rest of the season.
September 27, 201511 yr Well, Vick's relief debut left a lot to be desired. Let's hope he does better on Thursday against a desperate Ratbirds team. Ugh.
September 27, 201511 yr Author I just saw Ben is expected to miss 4 weeks. That means he'll miss 2 weeks.
September 27, 201511 yr Author MRI tomorrow or tonight. I've seen both. The team hopes the ACL is intact and that it is just the MCL. Stay tuned.
September 27, 201511 yr Well, Vick's relief debut left a lot to be desired. Let's hope he does better on Thursday against a desperate Ratbirds team. Ugh. Vick is a guy that will have 1 good game followed By 3 bad games. One of The most overrated Qb's ever.
September 27, 201511 yr I just saw Ben is expected to miss 4 weeks. That means he'll miss 2 weeks. So true. I think if they'd let him play with a boot he would.
September 27, 201511 yr MRI tomorrow or tonight. I've seen both. The team hopes the ACL is intact and that it is just the MCL. Stay tuned. The bend/hit was right on the MCL, about 50% of the time the ACL goes with it.
September 27, 201511 yr Vick is a guy that will have 1 good game followed By 3 bad games. One of The most overrated Qb's ever. I suppose SD and me will have our own opinions about that in a few short weeks.
September 28, 201511 yr Hope Big Ben heals quickly. Even though he's the enemy I've always admired the way he plays. Tough guy.
September 28, 201511 yr Hope Big Ben heals quickly. Even though he's the enemy I've always admired the way he plays. Tough guy. I agree. I've never liked the Steelers but like him as a quarterback. Always have.
September 28, 201511 yr This is almost comical, not the injury but this thread. Apparently some have must have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night. We have an ankle injury, an MCL tear. an ACL injury and a prognosis of up to 4 weeks missed. Never mind that no official word has come down yet. Some of you could find work at ESPN or msnbc. Just throw something out here and hope it sticks. I hope that he is ok. I'd like the Bengals to beat them with Ben, something they've done rarely.
September 28, 201511 yr Schefter was the one who reported 4 weeks. No reason at all to report it. But I hope he's right. The typical MCL sprain is 4 weeks if it's grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 requires surgery. ACL maybe but it didn't appear to flex in the that position. Sometimes the pain comes from a bony contusion, bleeding from the femoral head. But I didn't spend a any holiday inn express time so what do I know? Don't want chastised by dpeevh
September 28, 201511 yr Jason Lacanfor reported MRI showed an MCI sprain and no ACL damage. Looking at 4 weeks most likely.

Who are you to say someone doesn't have a background that would allow them to accurately "predict" the diagnosis of an injury?
