report: Rivers has partially torn ACL

[mofome]

Citing a source, Butch Stearns of WFXT Fox TV in Boston is reporting that Philip Rivers has a partially torn ACL.

The Chargers have been calling Rivers' injury a sprain, or "strain" of his MCL and expect Rivers to be a game-time decision against the Patriots. Stearns says that Rivers hasn't been ruled out of the game, but his side-to-side movements may be restricted. It's worth noting that Stearns isn't exactly considered the most reliable source in the business.

not at football.

Volek can play good ball as long as the running game doesn't falter.

i agree JJ, this should have no effect on the line IMO. i'd love to see it grow so i can take SD again, and again.

volek is solid

I am confident that the Sportsbooks expect LDT to play and expect Volek to play. I don't think there can be bad news on the Rivers front since nothing is expected from him.

perhaps him trying to play would be the worst thing for Sd backers.

Butch Stearns doesn't have any "sources." Trust.

I would be more confident in my SD play if Volek plays rather than Rivers...
