Didn’t read all the links but a partial tear does not, necessarily, present as something serious. My ACL and MCL in my right knee are both partially torn but I can get by. With a brace, I would not be limited. Don’t know if he wore one this year.
While I wholeheartedly agree he has willingly cheated countless times, he gets a pass from me this time until more information comes out…if it ever does. Not that the NFL is complicit: that would NEVER happen! 😃
