Does it matter if its a partial tear or complete tear?
For this season it doesn't... My buddy suffered a partial and was able to rehab it 6 weeks and get back on the field. Truth is though, he might be better off just getting it cut, patellar tendon graft placed, and starting rehab... I knew it was gonna be bad when he was fighting for the extra yards; dude is too small to be doing that... I feel real bad for him, but he ought to pull through... It takes a bit of time for patellar tendon grafts. My recovery was 10 months before I could reasonably run 3-4 miles and do squats at the rack... He should be ready by the opener or a month after...
