That’s a really bad start to the offseason. I hate that for him. Hope he recovers without any complications, and will be up to speed and able to play this fall.

The hits keep coming

 

[Carp]

The recent portal news about flipping a CB make a lot of sense now.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I mean the season is 8 months away. Surely he can at least play in September. What's the normal rehab for that injury?

 

[utvolpj]

Unfortunate but it gives him just about the max rehab time to be ready for next season

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Hoping he comes back even better with something to prove.

9-12 months.

 

[csheaton]

Wow, doubtful he plays next year. Zeigler tore his in February and was back by November in ‘22. I think McCoy will miss at least the first month of the season minimum, if he plays at all. One of the worst hits we have taken in a while.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

9-12 months.

Hopefully it's the shorter variety

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Great

Recovery timeline (if all goes well). He should be back for fall camp to practice and be ready for the season.

• Weeks 1–3: Reduce pain and inflammation, start physical therapy, and wear a brace
• Weeks 4–6: Wean off crutches, improve range of motion, and strengthen quadriceps
• Months 3–5: Start running exercises
• Months 5–8: Start pivoting exercises
• Months 6–7: Return to practice
• Months 7–8: Return to competition

That’s our best defensive player going down w/ an ACL. He’ll be a junior next season, which means they’ll definitely not rush him back to make sure that he doesn’t have any issues before declaring for the draft . This is not a small deal.

This isn't good at all. If you're going to tear your ACL, he picked possibly the best possible time to do so but he'll still miss all of Spring practice and likely won't be a full go for Fall camp either.

I could see them taking it really easy on him in the Fall and potentially missing a couple of regular season games.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Dang. This is not what we needed. Defintley better to happen now than 6 months from now, but this type of injury is not ideal at any time, hate it for the kid.

Has it been confirmed it was a tear?

The linked article says it was torn.

 

[csheaton]

Literally about to puke. Our best player huh, sweet!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He is projected to be ready to play according to VQ, just hope for no setbacks.

Better to happen now than first of August.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Doesn’t help that the start to our season will be tougher next year playing Syracuse and Georgia within our first three games.

what grade? 1, 2 or 3? there are different levels of ACL injuries is my point..from sprain to full tear.

Grade 1

• Mild damage to the ACL
• The ACL is stretched but still provides stability to the knee
• Also known as an ACL sprain

Grade 2

• • The ACL is stretched and partially torn
  • The ACL is loose and can't provide full stability to the knee
  • Also known as a partial tear

Grade 3

• • The ACL is completely torn in half
  • The ACL is split into two pieces and no longer provides stability to the knee
  • Also known as a complete tear

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Better now than in summer camp or the first game of the season, hopefully he can get back to 100% in about nine months. injuries anytime suck, but this is probably about the best time of the year for it.

 

[PTSDVOL]

9-12 months.

6-12 months.
