No, it's not. It's pretty rare for a player to go down like that and it end up not resulting in a torn ligament.Too early for that

ZIMMMER tells @gregcoleman8 they're worried about the ACL with Dalvin Cook. Will get an MRI tomorrow.

Dalvin Cook just left the #Vikings locker room on crutches, knee in a brace.
You are probably correct but Cook owners should wait for the final verdict before losing their minds.SayWhat? said:No, it's not. It's pretty rare for a player to go down like that and it end up not resulting in a torn ligament.
Sad for it to end like that. I was really down on him, so I don't own him. My opinion of him has changed much, so I wanted to see if it would work out all season.GroveDiesel said:That's almost certainly a torn ACL. Sucks. He was off to a great start.
im in the exact situationponchsox said:It's amazing how fast you can lose your RB depth. Thank God I have Doug Martin to replace Cook next week.
Too late.You are probably correct but Cook owners should wait for the final verdict before losing their minds.
Don't understand why Bradford's injury is responsible for Cook's injury?Cook is special. Him & Hunt will be battling for years to come.
In fact, if Bradford hadn't gotten hurt, I believe Cook would've given Hunt a run for his money as the top rookie RB.
I bet you feel like NEVER playing this game again,after losing Cook and Ty since this post.....Never brag about your stacked teams bc the Fantasy Gods will not like you.In the league I got hunt in the sixth, I took cook in the second and AJ Green on the first. Along with Tate, Martavis Bryant, and Parker, plus Ty Montgomery in the third, I'm feeling pretty stacked.
Not following you, LOL.Don't understand why Bradford's injury is responsible for Cook's injury?
That's always a worry, but ACL injuries, especially with younger players, have a great prognosis.Cook doesn’t have Hunt’s vision, but he is a better athlete. Hopefully, he doesn’t lose any speed/quickness with this MAJOR knee injury.
I've played FFB for close to 2 decades. Ive always been cursed by "fantasy gods". I wasn't bragging, I was happy I had a what seemed to be a good team for the first time in a couple seasons.I bet you feel like NEVER playing this game again,after losing Cook and Ty since this post.....Never brag about your stacked teams bc the Fantasy Gods will not like you.
Seemed like you were implying Cook got hurt because Bradford got hurt.Not following you, LOL.
I'm simply saying with Bradford, Cook has more FF potential. He was doing well with Keenum in there, but Bradford makes a huge difference to that offense.
The initial prognosis is it’s a complete tear, which would be more severe than a typical acl repair.That's always a worry, but ACL injuries, especially with younger players, have a great prognosis.
I wouldn't expect any loss of speed/quickness if this is a typical ACL tear.
I've been playing since 92 or 93...I'm not rubbing anything in...I was just making a statement about the Fantasy Gods,bc I learned long ago,even if I have a good team,I don't say a thing about my teams,until a Championship is won..Then I talk about my team,bc by then the Fantasy Gods can't do a thing about it....I'm going to lose this week most likely in my big money league bc Jones got knocked out with his hip pointer....Those are the breaks of playing this GAME.....I've played FFB for close to 2 decades. Ive always been cursed by "fantasy gods". I wasn't bragging, I was happy I had a what seemed to be a good team for the first time in a couple seasons.
and supposedly I only lost TyMont for part of one game.
But I appreciate you rubbing it in y face that two of my players got hurt. That's super nice of you.
Not really. Either way the ligament is replaced.The initial prognosis is it’s a complete tear, which would be more severe than a typical acl repair.
I was actually referring to a complete tear. They do amazing things now with knee injuries. If it's just an ACL tear, his chances of returning to 100% are excellent. At his age, you should expect a 100% recovery. Countless RBs have come back from ACLs & have been as good as ever.The initial prognosis is it’s a complete tear, which would be more severe than a typical acl repair.
This is correct. They replace it with a tendon.Not really. Either way the ligament is replaced.
Yeah - the idea that I could cause Cook and Montgomery to get hurt because I posted something on a discussion forum complimentary to them - it's just dumb.Guys. I like you all but superstition is stupid.
Nope, not true. The question is whether any other ligaments were torn as well. If there are other ligaments torn, that complicates things and generally leads to a longer more difficult recovery.The initial prognosis is it’s a complete tear, which would be more severe than a typical acl repair.
Yeah, the first blurb I got was that Cook suffered an "ugly" knee injury, but upon watching it, his knee didn't give too much at all & seemed relatively stable.Neuro vascular, surrounding ligaments and tendons, meniscus, and musculature damage are the questions.
The vast majority of ACL replacements are complete tears. That's not unusual at all and nor more major than an incomplete tear if replaced.
Nothing g about the mechanism looked unusual.
He's on ignore for me but that's so typical.What a DB you are.
It could be worse. I had Cook and Ware this year...ponchsox said:It's amazing how fast you can lose your RB depth. Thank God I have Doug Martin to replace Cook next week.
Did gurley blow out his knee?I was actually referring to a complete tear. They do amazing things now with knee injuries. If it's just an ACL tear, his chances of returning to 100% are excellent.

Look at Todd Gurley & what he's doing now. Heck, take Nick Chubb & his mangled knee. It took an extra season, but even after that catastrophic injury, he's getting close to 100%.
Vikings are friggin cursed. I'm lucky I can play Martin as my rb2 but it kills my RB depth. This is just the beginning though RBS always start dropping like flies as the season rolls on.Not gonna lie fellas. This one hurt bad. Not just for FFB, I really liked this kid and loved watching him play.
Sucks that this is part of the game of football.
You're not missing anything you might want to know.He's on ignore for me but that's so typical.
He was back in the game after he was hurt. After watching him drop balls today, not sure - I think Murray slides in as the replacement for Cook, while McKinnon's usage is similar to now but more snaps - like 60-40 split with the 2 of them instead of 75-20-5 like it was with Cook/McKinnon/MurrayDoes anyone know how bad McKinnon's injury was? I think he'd be the target in ppr.
