i heard torn acl and dislocated knee.

Teddy's family today credits the Vikings' immediate reaction and top notch medical staff for acting quickly. Trauma surgeons were brought in to repair his leg. The Femur basically jumped off of the tibia, and this caused his knee cap to go around to the back or something like that. They described it as like seeing a man who had been in a severe car wreck. He also suffered a complete tear of the ACL, MCL, and his meniscus as well. It sounds like the only thing holding his leg on was basically his outer layer of skin. Still can't believe an injury that bad could happen on a non-contact drill....

I think if people care about Teddy B as a person at all they just wish for him to live a normal life, it sounds like it will be at least 2 years before they even know if he can make a comeback or not. His NFL career could be over....
