hyperextension which is what it looked like to me wouldn't be a patella tendon. Maybe a PCL or ACL. Hopefully just a sprain though

The knee bent in the exact opposite way than it's supposed to, which actually could be a good sign. Often when the knee bends like that the ligaments aren't torn. </p>

Hopefully it just strained some stuff & he'll be good as new after a week off.

Before everyone jumps on me, I realize you can still walk around with a torn ACL, but I consider him not being on crutches a positive.
