Jonathon Brooks, a rookie RB for the Carolina Panthers, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee again, just 13 months after he underwent ACL reconstruction.
Unfortunately, for the Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks , Sunday was like déjà vu all over again. He suffered a knee injury that he already has a lot of experience with—experience that you would rather not have once, let alone twice.
File this under the “that really sucks times two” category. An ACL injury can be devastating for an athlete. The ACL is one of the major ligaments that connect your thigh bone—known as the femur—to your shin bone—known as the tibia—to help stabilize your knee. While not all ACL tears require surgery, you tend to need an intact ACL to participate in knee-strenuous sports like football that involve a lot of running, cutting and jumping.
Getting the right physical therapists and going through the right physical therapy program are important and can greatly affect your prognosis. The PT needs to closely monitor your progress and adjust the exercises accordingly.
