Sorry – I reported yesterday that it looked like a clean break. But McCarthy said in his press conference it was a badly sprained knee. (Didn’t realize Quarless’ knee was located down by his shin – still think that looked just like a snapped tibia or fibula.)
Also concerning are the injuries to Starks and Woodson. Hoping they can get back in short order.

In the least shocking news of the season, Quarless is out for the season. The article says he will need surgery.
Also mentioned in the article: “[Coach McCarthy] remains comfortable with receiver Jordy Nelson playing on special teams”

I saw the replay of this injury and thought that there was a definite fracture but it is amazing how these guys bodies can bend the way they do without breaking. Recovery from a sprained knee should not be bad at all http://sportsinjuryadvice.com/injuries/knee/kneesprain
Most teams sit players out with this injury just to play it on the safe side.

interesting Chase. It did look horrific and I’m glad it’s not perhaps as bad as it looked.
