A sprain is basically a tear. So right now they don’t know the severity of the tear.

A sprain is a tear?

The way he was acting and how he sat up on the cart suggests sprain.  Hope we get him back for plays offs 

Playoffs?? Playoffs?? Are you kidding me 😂😂

[SCBills]

Don’t they typically know it might be an ACL immediately by doing the stability tests on the sideline?

We're gonna be OK.  Made a deal with the devil.  We'll have him for the playoffs.

When a sprain occurs the ligament is stretched and results in micro tears

I’m a little older than him but don’t need my knee he can have mine

A friend of mine whose brother is a lemon lawyer at Ford told me that the initial idea for the turf was shredded tires which had to be recalled because of some defect.  Every time I see an injury in Detroit, I always wonder if that is the cause.

There’s a scramble by Allen out of bounds. I swear you can hear the feet hitting the ground as he was stopping. Sounded like stopping on concrete. It was early in the game.

If Von has to miss a couple of games or so that's fine...just please don't let it be a season ender!

Agree

if we don’t make the playoffs then McDermott should be canned

It's McDermott's fault that we have White, Hyde, Edmunds, Rousseau, Miller, Morse, and Dawkins standing around on the sideline.  Toss in Epenesa and Spector if you want.

Right but we have seen same kind of threads merged for other players.

You are the Teflon™ Tom on the board regarding the Zebras.

Today was an emotional game to be sure. The GDT was ugly and matched a lot of the play we saw on the field but there is no reason to call out Yolo for starting a thread. I understand the policy but there are always exceptions and Yolo does more for this board than anybody. Yolo is a reason this place is the best for all your Bills info needs. I’m not trying to slam you or anybody but calling him “teflon tom” is bad form. The Bills won and it’s Thanksgiving. Go have a beer. 🍺 

[78thealltimegreat]

Sounds like an ACL sprain from my wife aka a physical therapist Von will be week to week as they wouldn’t let him put any pressure on it if they feared structural damage. 

[Albanybillsbacker]

I remember when Josh Allen needed Tommy John.

While cools. Means nothing if it's an ACL.

They would never ever let him put any pressure on it if it they feared ACL tear. See him walking around the locker room after the game.

That is really good news for not having an ACL injury. I know a little bit on this and you ice those immediately.

Why would they let him walk on it if there was a tear?

This is the slit field turf the NFLPA wants banned. It’s the same turf that took Tre out last year and our Lombardi. 

This wasn't a non-contact injury.  This isn't a turf issue, it's a guy rolled up behind me issue.

I think they ruled out ACL from all the “hopeful “ tweets. Now we wait and see how bad of a sprain it is. Wait and see.

They wouldn’t, and you would see a big ice wrap on his leg

ACL functions for lateral movement.  A person can walk forward with an ACL tear.

That doesn’t mean the team doctors would just let him walk, even if he can

Why would team doctors let him just walk around normally if they think he has an acl tear

They didn't report my initial professional analysis of a lower left spleen injury!

Cleat slides different on this surface at contact or non - if contact you want it to be able to move not plant into the turf with no give

The video shows his foot was planted in the turf at the same time. It's disgusting that the billionaires who own these teams don't pay to keep their multimillion dollar investments healthy.

[ShakAttack]

Since nothing definitive has been reported, the only thing I've seen so far is Miller's demeanor after the injury and on the cart.  I get the sense that Miller is an athlete that probably understands his body very well, and for a guy that claims to "find the positives in everything" he looked REALLY glum.  Almost as if... it was something he couldn't put a positive spin on.  Again, that's really all I can possibly go off of from what we've seen, but it wasn't a good look

I mean, what’s the positive spin on “definitely out til January but maybe next November”

he’s allowed to take that range serious and not be thrilled about it. Even best case sucks for the guy and he couldn’t rule out the worst.

Yeah I don't know.  When that's all there is to go off of right now (besides the video itself) it's easy to potentially overthink the situation,  but it definitely left a bad impression, and I know it wasn't just me picking up on that, so I guess we will see.    Hoping it's a sprain & fingers crossed.
