December 25, 201114 yr Ya definitely wouldn't want to tear that with the ACL, that combo would be pretty hard to come back from.Didn't Palmer tear all 3?
December 25, 201114 yr He did basically what Petersen did, similar to what I did. ACL, MCL and some meniscus damage.
December 25, 201114 yr What did Welker tear? ACL, MCL, it's unfortunately a common injury among skilled position players in football such as running backs or wide receivers.
December 26, 201114 yr There's no guarentee that AP does come back from this...everyone heals differently. It's a true shame. If he plays next year, I say it won't be until Nov. One thing to remember, is they do have better doctor's and rehab facilities that any of us civilians get to use. I'd imagine they use a cadaver, like they did for Palmer. Most of us would have a piece of our hamstring taken out for the new ACL.
December 26, 201114 yr This is a bummer! Don't like the Vikings but it's hard not to love to watch him play! It's going to be interesting to see what Gearhart can do with a full season.
December 26, 201114 yr The BGP league is a keeper league, and ALL DAY has been my mainstay......I have work to do. I wish AP the very best. I'll pray for him. I could care less about my Fantasy well being. He seems as if he's a tremendous person.

Most of us would have a piece of our hamstring taken out for the new ACL. Not to critique, but not sure they used a cadaver for Palmer, maybe I'm thinking of Welker. Like you said I'm basing my time frame on the fact that AP get millions to A) stay healthy and B) get back to being a beast. Most of us wake up after an injury and say I have work for 8-10 hours a day, rehab and then whatever. AP get rehab for 8-10 hours a day then whatever.
December 26, 201114 yr Article on ESPN says the Vikings are hoping that AP is able to start week 1 of next season.

They have a ton of time to rehab, that is their job after injury to get healthy, that's why they come back quickly. Still an ACL is an ACL some never come back but most do. It usually just takes 2 years to fully recover physically and mentally.
