Quote:Seems this way to me too. Don't know if it's true.

 

I remember these players tore them:

 

Dustin Keller (multiple ligaments)

Brian Hoyer

Sam Bradford

Reggie Wayne

Sidney Rice

Geno Atkins

 

Also, Brian Cushing tore his LCL.

 

Turns out we are right about the number of ACL injuries skyrocketing. This article explains why Brandon Meriweather, who was suspended one game after appealing two games for mulitple helmet collisions Sunday, said this week, "You have to tear people's ACLs." Coaches and players agree with his general message and understand the statement was just a poor choice of words, not what he really thinks defenders should do. That said, people are tearing more ACLs this year.
