Sounds like better than expected news...but who knows, PCL injury is not one you hear very often.

 

I wonder what degree of a sprain it is....

A first degree sprain is damage to only a few ligament fibres.

A second degree sprain is damage to a more extensive number of ligament fibres, but the ligament remains intact.

A third degree sprain is a complete rupture of the ligament. Because of
the force involved in this injury other structures in the knee, such as the Meniscus (Cartilage) or the Anterior Cruciate Ligament can also be damaged.

The injury is usually caused in one of two classic ways. In collision sports such as football (soccer), rugby, and American football, the Medial ligament can be damaged when an opponent applies a force (usually from their knee) to the outside aspect of the leg, just above the knee. Alternatively the Medial ligament can be damaged if the studs get caught in turf and the player tries to turn to the side, away from the planted leg .

In the case of a first degree sprain, sporting activities should not be undertaken for about 3 weeks.

For second degree sprains, the rehabilitation period will be between 6 and 8 weeks. Rehabilitation under the supervision of a chartered physiotherapist is desirable to prevent a recurrence of the injury, which can be common if a return to sport is attempted too early.

In the case of a third degree sprain, where the ligament is completely ruptured, the treatment of choice is surgery to repair the structure. The type of reconstruction used will depend on the exact site of the damage and the preference of the surgeon. Many people find that using a Knee Brace can be very helpful if they have suffered a Medial Collateral Ligament injury.

 

Thank you, Wikipedia.

 

it's somewhere between a first degree and a second degree

Glad it wasn't really bad. But shit, we finally get into postseason play and he will probably have to watch.
