I have torn my ACL three times. It is not possible to be certain of the extent of the injury until after an MRI.
I mean I'd argue that if they thought a torn acl, they'd take him right away to get an MRI instead of letting him go back on the field.
This is a facetious post, but I wonder, given our history of injuries, if they have the capability to perform MRI's in or near the stadium?
Perhaps a recent donation by a concerned fan.

Thanks for the insight. I just feel like every report I've ever read about an injury usually has them getting an MRI the day of or the next day, but maybe I am misremembering. In your opinion though if the exam was clear cut ligament tear, would a player just be on the sideline in a brace and crutches later that practice? It sounds like that is what happened to the other poster's child.Not much advantage to MRI right away if exam is pretty clear cut. If it's a torn ACL he isn't getting surgery tomorrow (need to preop and reduce swelling), and if it's not he's not getting on the field tomorrow either way. There's also an argument to giving it a couple days to reduce swelling to improve MRI imaging.

Beason just went live on Instagram for a minute, from what looked like a training room or medical facility, and said he is NOT out for the year. He gave no details on the injury. TIFWIW.
I’m a colonoscopy insider too. I’m not sure you can be more insider than that!They have me beat. The best I can do is colonoscopy insider.
I would think a gynecologist insider would be more of an insideher ...am I banned? I just couldn’t help itI’m a colonoscopy insider too. I’m not sure you can be more insider than that!
I wonder if we get a discount given that the MRI was invented by U of I chemistry Prof. and nobel laureate Dr. Paul Lauterbur https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_LauterburThere's not really a benefit of having an MRI in the stadium. MRI's cost millions, need to be staffed full time (in case of emergent need), and are easy enough to get at a hospital. Xrays are different though and many teams have xray capability within stadium.

Trainers and medical professionals don’t view crutches and knee braces as non-serious precautionary measures so no, the certainty that this situation regardless of outcome is serious in nature is quite real and legitimate.
Agreed, I think this will give him a chip on his shoulder, I also have a back if is healthy I look to do some damage.It’s better this way. Give him something to play for.
Also, many non Illini coaches feel he is not the most talented back, but instead great within the system and he will split time with many others. Taken together it’s hard to expect mvp-caliber numbers

Let's just all agree not to change our chant to "I-L-L" "M-R-I"Wonder if we have the original lying around somewhere.
Yeah, geez, just because the guy wins the Doak Walker Award doesn't necessarily mean he's the best back in the conference.Our guy Corbin getting no love on B1G network, not in preseason B1G offensive MVP top 5, wisky back #1.
