The calf injury that had kept Jerick McKinnon out for the last three preseason games initially was believed to be a knee injury. He was seen clutching the back of his right knee at the time. He tore the right ACL today.

Not saying it wasn't a factor. He likely minimally tweaked it, but in a way not really perceptible by comparison to his calf strain.Thus creating a bit of a ticking time bomb situation, but one unlikely to be detected before it went off, which it did today.
I mean, there's probably a huge % of the NFL players who are "healthy" today with similar time bombs that will go off this year, next year, in two years, etc. Until then they gotta play.
I'm sorry but I'm not giving our team doctors the benefit of the doubt after these past few seasons. f**k that.
