I tore my meniscus awhile back, likely not as bad as his though. I had to get a shot and have fluid drained and I was back to normal (or so I thought) in about a week. Since then it's a day to day issue managing the pain/discomfort. Would be hard to play football with that injury I can assure you, I'm just trying to be able to keep running so I don't get any fatter and it's a struggle some days. Glad it isn't his ACL, but I've heard that a torn meniscus can be a problem down the road, they don't ever really heal, and surgery can supposedly cause it to become arthritic faster down the road.
