Bell mvp

further test or is that conclusive?

Further tests are needed I'm sure as they don't have a locker room MRI....but CMT stated what we already knew,...that it was hyper-extended,...but followed that with "it appears structurally fine."

Meaning the Dr./trainer physically checked the stability (drawer sign) and his knee appeared stable.
 
No news is good news in this instance. I hope that he is good to go later in the week...

Drawer is used for ACLs. In a hyperextension, the PCL is the strained ligament. Good news is you can't walk on a torn PCL. He walked off the field. PCL should be slightly strained, but intact. It now comes down to comfort and a doctor that can help him manage the pain.

I'm not debating which ligament is or isn't injured. CMT said his knee seems structurally fine...that's all that matters.
 
What if the situation were reversed, and it was Ben out next weekend, with a healthy Bell in the backfield? How would you feel about our chances versus the current possibility?

If you think we'd be worse off without Ben, then there is your MVP.
