Is there a difference between partially intact and partially torn?

Good observation. I really think there is some "sugar coating" going on. If he's having a second ACL, we're talking 9 months MINIMUM. This talk about him being ready for next season is either wishful thinking or damage control, imho.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he plays at all next year.

Great coaching decision, Shanahan.
