Unfortunately, his year is over per Jerry Jones
Don't get me wrong, Keenan is still one of the best receivers in the league. Easily top 10 in my book and is maybe the best route runner in the league even after his injuries.
What I think some people do forget is how dominant he was the season before those two injuries. In 2015, before he punctured his kidney on a touchdown catch, he was pretty much leading the league in everything. Receptions, yards, touchdowns, you name it. Nobody could cover him and it was a joy to watch. His season was sadly cut short after the kidney injury and then week 1 of the next season he tears his ACL in the second quarter (already with 6 catches for 63 years btw). Keenan being the animal he is did go on to have 1,400 yards and win come back player of the year the next season but I can't help but wonder what his career would look like if he hadn't had that ACL injury.
Keenan was never known for his great speed or elite athleticism so tearing his ACL has probably slowed him down more than an average player. That would make him rely more heavily on his elite route running and release but imagine if he still had that crazy burst. He's already in the conversation for best receiver in Chargers history but I truly think if he didn't sustain those injuries he would be a top 5 receiver on track for the hall of fame.
Iβve seen some players with both injuries miss at least a full season.
Guys like KD ended up missing almost 2 full seasons. He had an Achilles.
Kawhi has been out since last seasonβs WCSF. He might be out for the whole of this season. He had an ACL injury.
Which is worse?
Long shot here, but I can't think of a better subreddit to ask that isn't American-centric.
Has anyone here snapped their ACL? I snapped mine playing 5s at the start of September and was only confirmed as a complete tear in November after an initial misdiagnosis. Surgery could take up to 2 years on NHS so trying to power through without.
I'm doing Couch 2 5K to try and get the strength back, but my knee feels horrendous after every run.
I know I'm clutching at straws, but has anyone been in a similar situation and have estimates on recovery time? Or even a return to casual football?
Edit: Thanks for all the responses and insights!
Pretty sure I tore my acl after making hard run just wondering if anybody else experienced this? Any tips or feedback much appreciated.
