"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.

So, for us who are too stupid to know what ACL stands for could you enlighten us?
