"Robert's ACL is intact, but not enough for his profession,'' Griffin II said in a text message to USA TODAY Sports. "You and I could be fine. But he is an athlete. So they will replace.''

I don't think "intact" really says too much. They're replacing it so the rehab will be the same as if it weren't intact I believe.

I'd bet it was stretched out too much to reliably hold the knee together.

I was surprised to see that they expected the surgery to last for 2 hours. I would have thought at least 4. I wonder if he's out of surgery yet.

Is there a difference between partially intact and partially torn?

It’s all Dan Snyder’s fault for making FedEx field’s surface worse than an inner city kickball field. That field has now shredded the knees of RG III, Chris Clemons and Adrian Petersen. The latter two should sue Snyder, who is an absolute disgrace.

The average career of an NFL running back is 3 years....with the emergence of running quarterbacks, this is going to wind up being their average career length as well.

I don’t follow football much. Can I add “partially intact” to my oxymoron list, it would go just before Ford’s “partial zero-emission vehicle”.
