Fear & Loathing

Can we get an official ruling on Ahman Green's current injury situation? I remember at the time of his injury reading that it was a torn thigh tendon, and I found this news item from Rotoworld last October:
OK, so that says torn thigh tendon/quadriceps injury. Now I remember reading on this site recently that Ahman Green's injury was a torn ACL. Furthermore, here is a quote from Rotoworld's most recent update (January 26, 2006)http://fantasyfootball.rotoworld.com/conte...guenum=&id=4261Packers placed Ahman Green on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury, ending his season.
Green sounds determined to make a full recovery, but it's highly uncertain how soon he can be 100% again. Green's health will determine what level of interest he gathers on the free agent market.
Coach Mike Sherman confirmed Monday that Ahman Green will miss the rest of the 2005 with a torn thigh tendon.
He will undergo surgery Tuesday. Coach Sherman opined that Green could be ready for training camp next year, but it's uncertain whose training camp that will be. Green is a free agent this off-season and isn't likely to get attractive offers coming off a rough start followed by an injury like this.
So what is it? ACL or thigh tendon? Or both?Wouldn't his prognosis for '06 be better if it was a thigh tendon? I was counting on him being ready for the start of next season until I read the ACL reports.Ahman Green doesn't expect to be able to run until early May.
He probably won't even be fully recovered from his ACL injury until training camp. It's quite possible he will sit on the free agent market until he can prove he's healthy. He probably won't get more than a one-year deal for the league minimum plus incentives, and we doubt it will be in Green Bay.
