[QUOTE="JBlood, post: 519012, member: 16"] No argument here on the need for diligence. I have no idea whether MRI is a routine when evaluating a player. I would assume it is if he had a history of prior knee injury, but doubt that MRI of all players' knees is a routine. You'd have to do routine MRIs of shoulders, elbows, backs, hips, ankles, etc. if that were the case, wouldn't you? He had been injured in training camp after a knee injury, and if an ACL tear was missed at that time, the Packers' staff would be responsible. However, missing an acute ACL tear would be very difficult if the player had been examined, with or without an MRI. So I assume his training camp injury was unassociated with any significant physical exam abnormality, making an MRI unnecessary. Afterwards, maybe he was having problems, but didn't report them to the training staff, in which case you can't fault the staff for missing something that isn't being reported. If he was reporting continued problems, I would think an MRI would have been done, even if there were no significant abnormalities on exam. We don't know whether or not he had an MRI with the Packers. He practiced the day before signing with the Browns, and apparently had no complaints or problems that required an exam.
