Worth noting that he DID get back on the field after that play. It was on that play he clearly noticed something was wrong and hopped off.After seeing that video, it's not just precautionary. Good chance his season is over, IMO.

You just never know with knee injuries. The most inconsequential looking thing can tear the shit out of them. Think of all the non-contact knee ligament tears in RBs and WRs in football.Nah I would be shocked if it's that extreme. He played the next snap, albeit in alot of pain. I'm thinking 2-4 week timetable. Still not ideal, but at least not a wasted rookie year.
It's poetic though that it was Velus Jones running the ball when it happened. As if he couldn't get any more hated by this fan base.
Are you a Hawks fan as well or just a Bears fan? I never see you post here but noticed you're from EvanstonThis probably means he misses the road games against the Texans and Colts. Might be back against the Rams.
If I've learned anything from following the NFL, it's that if you tear your knee, make sure it's something that has blood flow. MCL is fairly fine, meniscus and ACL are probably really bad.

It's not too much to ask that he keeps his tinted windows rolled down. Common sense as to why that would escalate the situation for the police officers. Not excusing the cops from manhandling him like that but you've got to listen to them when they tell you to do something
This is f***ing disgusting. Tyreek Hill arrest yesterday... those cops need to be fired. Don't need shit cops like them on the streets
You only have to have your window down enough to speak to the officer(s). There's no law that says you have to fully roll the window down. This is absolute insanity that stemmed from a seatbelt not being warn. These are the dogshit type of cops that give all cops a bad name. Didn't let him talk. Didn't let him explain anything. Dragged him out of the car like a ragdoll. Knelt on his back. Tried to force him down onto his knees when he just had knee surgery and kept trying to tell em that. Just gross shit.It's not too much to ask that he keeps his tinted windows rolled down. Common sense as to why that would escalate the situation for the police officers.

Classic "not excusing but". If it were anything but a power trip they de-escalate (as they are supposedly trained to do) when he rolls the window back down. Everything that followed was about not being obeyed. "You've got to listen to them" or they'll pull you out of your car and pin you to the ground even after you comply. Can't believe people really think this is a necessity for law and order.It's not too much to ask that he keeps his tinted windows rolled down.

He already had the window down all the way once. They saw in the car. They got his license. He rolled it down enough to talk to them when they asked him to after that. Not sure why he needs to just keep the window all the way down as if that's some kind of law. The whole "You have to just do whatever a cop says because they're a cop." mentality is f***ed up. It's hot and humid in Florida this time of year. Why wouldn't he want it up to stay cool? It was 90 degrees with 65% humidity when they pulled him over. The whole situation is f***ed, and it likely costs one or two of these guys their jobs. And will cost the city money in the ensuing lawsuit that Hill files.I'm not excusing them yanking him out of the car and pinning him to the ground. Keep your tinted window rolled down when a cop is pulling you over. That's not too much to ask JFC
