Two ACL injuries on the same knee is really tough to come back from I imagine. Also raises some durability concerns

Based on what most of the doctors have said, my ACL isn’t present in the knee,” Brooks said. “The first time you saw the two end-pieces on the MRI which clearly show the ACL has torn, but this time the ACL isn’t present at all.”

Although Brooks was disappointed with this news after months of rehab, he received comforting news when he called Tennessee’s coaching staff.

“They all told me the same thing,” Brooks said. “I made an early commitment in January. So they made a commitment to me. They’re still 100 percent behind me, so I’m still 100 percent with Tennessee.”

Brooks will use the next year for rehab and is expected to be ready by next summer.

I'm honestly glad to hear we are still behind him, I know college football is a business but this tells us a lot about this staff.

If this is indeed true, then he would of never played football again until it was replaced. I can attest to this situation because it happened to me. Tore my ACL senior year in college. Dr's said you won't need it as long as you are not as active. Well, that didn't turn out to good. My knee kept slipping out of joint, so they had to graph a new ligament from my patella tendon. Two screws to hold it in place. It worked, but with a lot of rehab.
