It was brutal seeing him out there. My gut was turning at every play. Seeing the guy try to maneuver, it was very very difficult to watch.
The initial injury to the knee was horrific. I was calling :bs: when he said he was fine. Clearly, there was structural damage. Your leg doesn't bend like that.
Fast forward to Sunday ... and it looked like the leg was hanging by a string after 5 minutes. Fucking. Awful.

From ESPN
"The torn ACL was diagnosed late Tuesday as a complete tear of the patella graft that was used to repair Griffin's torn ACL suffered at Baylor in 2009. A team source said Andrews likely will use a patella graft from Griffin's left knee to repair the most recent tear."
His knee is destroyed.

Patellar tendon grafts can be just as strong as the collateral and cruciate ligaments they replaced in the first place.
I bet he'll be fine. Shanny will just have to pull him a bit earlier in the future, or he'll be donating his own patellar tendon to graft into Griffin's knee.
