If its just a hyperextension, he might very well be good to go in 2 weeks with rehab.

I'm just the messenger. Take it for what it's worth. Perhaps I should clarify and say bone bruise.

But I saw the hit multiple times in slow motion, and he hyperextended his knee. I really hope that's not truly our team doctor's diagnosis...

who need doctors, x-rays or MRI's anymore? Just let bulldogbaja look at the tape in slow motion.

Did you see the play? And I'm assuming this information came through someone, like maybe BDJ or GP, and somewhere along the way somebody got Ducre and somebody else mixed up. Like maybe Ducre has a deep bone bruise and Charles Mitchell has a hyperextension or something.

he did hyperextend the knee, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he tore something. He was walking around at the end of the Kentucky game, so I took that as a good sign.

Without knowing anything else other than what I saw, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he plays against Alabama- but he'll probably be wearing a knee brace as a precaution.

Hyperextension injury only refers to the mechanism of injury. (The knee bent past full normal extension.) When it is listed as hyperextension as per the witnessed event, it is not the diagnosis, nor does it define or limit which anatomic/medical diagnosis will
show on the MRI. Bruising is a common result of hyperextension with or without ligamentous injury.

Excerpts from RadioGraphics (a radiology medical journal) in an article titled "Mechanism-based Pattern Approach to Classification of Complex Injuries of the Knee Depicted at MR Imaging"

Enjoy

Hyperextension injuries, by virtue of the greater forces exerted on the extended or "locked" knee, produce more pronounced bone injury patterns, often with frank fractures.

Hyperextension injuries are characterized by broad areas of contiguous bone bruising at the anterior aspect of the knee.
