Ive torn my ACL before, no way in hell you just walk off the field after tearing it, without crutches or ice. Hopefully, this means it is just a sprain for Wolfe.

I actually played another game but it buckled on me twice so I was done. Walking off means nothing really, except you know it's not a dislocation or compound fracture

If it is truly torn, your knee doesn't stay in place when you try to move quickly. You will know by practice at the very least. Ive torn my ACL, and then Ive torn the ACL, PCL, and MCL all at once....SUCKS.

this was in the 80's. You taped it up if it wasn't broken or until you couldn't use it, whether an ankle, knee or finger. Even saw a coach suggest taping up a kids hip that had just been put back into place.
Thing is with an acl is straight ahead speed can be ok if you are braced (remember Elway never had an acl to stable his knees and ran well), but stopping and changing direction on that leg are over. They don't consider bracing and playing on them nowadays. They didn't care then. Maybe that's why there's so many of us limping around

Everyone's is different. I tore mine on March 16 2012. I got up grimacing and hobbled to rec league basketball bench. Everyone including myself said the same you did. No way it's an acl or you would be down crying I was like yeah but this must be worst sprain of my life. When I called into work on Monday and told them I'd be out awhile as I climb utility poles walking with a limp would keep me from that. There policy is use insurance and get Mri. By that night they got me one and radiologist spilled beans before KOC could even get a look at my knee. I couldn't believe I could walk on it. Also remember Eric Berry hurt his knee left and came back in and that's when they knew his torn. Now granted that's rare but nothing is conclusive until doctors see mri unless it's visual damage like Paul George, Marcus Lattimore or Kevin Ware.
