00:00Dr. Chow, yesterday, after a very promising start to this season, could it be already

00:08done for KC's wide receiver, Rasheed Rice, attempting to make a tackle after Patrick

00:13Mahomes threw an interception.

00:15It was actually Mahomes also attempting to make a tackle right into the knee on a collision

00:21with Rasheed Rice.

00:23Andy Reid saying after the game, quote, it's not good.

00:26The fear is a season-ending knee injury.

00:30So Dr. Chow, on this Monday, do you think the fear will be confirmed and Rasheed Rice

00:35is set to miss the rest of this season for KC?

00:39Unfortunately, yes.

00:42In orthopedics, we have a saying that things come in threes.

00:46And for Kansas City, Marquise Brown, likely season with the SC joint, Isaiah Pacheco,

00:53most of the season with the ankle, and now Rasheed Rice.

00:57Look, in my time in the NFL, I never walked off the field or before an MRI didn't know

01:04the bad news based on exam from an ACL tear, a positive lockman.

01:10It's a very simple exam.

01:12We're used to teams saying, we don't know, MRI, MRI, MRI.

01:16Here Andy Reid's being a little more honest.

01:18He's leaving hope alive, but I think they already know, which is really, really too

01:23bad.

01:24Doc, when we take a look at Rasheed Rice and that injury, you've probably examined thousands

01:29of athletes, you know, in front of your eyes here.

01:31But when you see it just on the TV, what's the mechanism that you look for that lets

01:35you know that this could be an ACL injury as opposed to something else?

01:39Well, this is different than typical 75 or 80% of ACL tears in the NFL are non-contact.

01:47This one is contact.

01:48His foot is planted.

01:49He gets hit high on the thigh.

01:51The initial hope was hyperextension, bone bruise, maybe a posterolateral corner ligament

01:58sprain without getting the ACL, but if the force keeps going hard enough, in this case

02:03with his foot planted in the ground there, that yes, it can then become an ACL, and that

02:10seems to be the case.
