Ronnie Stanley Knee Sprain

[PurplePill]

Anyone heard anything more about this as far as severity? I don't like the sound of this. Guessing we won't see him until the Bills game at the earliest.

Ronnie Stanley injured his right knee during Monday's preseason game against the Colts, freelance NFL writer Jeff Zrebiec reports.

The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising if the 24-year-old was handled with caution by the Ravens for the remainder of the preseason. Stanley is locked in as the team's starting left tackle, with shaky depth behind him.

The term "knee strain" is as useless as they come.

Might as well just say he hurt his knee.

I want to see what the MRI says. This team is in deep trouble if Hurst is protecting Joe's blindside.

Hopefully it’s just a bruise. A guy that big, any knee or ankle injuries are not good.

This guy seems to always be knicked up and injuried.

"A strain (also known colloquially as a pulled muscle or torn muscle) is an acute or chronic soft tissue injury that occurs to a muscle, tendon, or both (contractile components). The equivalent injury to a ligament is a sprain."

Degrees of Injury (as classified by the American College of Sports Medicine)

• First degree (mildest) – little tissue tearing; mild tenderness; pain with full range of motion.

• Second degree – torn muscle or tendon tissues; painful, limited motion; possibly some swelling or depression at the spot of the injury.

• Third degree (most severe) – limited or no movement; pain will be severe at first, but may be painless after the initial injury

Hoping it's first degree. The fact he was back out on the sideline with it wrapped is a good sign IMO.
