Yikes, not good the way it looked. Knee flexed outward when planting tracking an awkward ball bounce. Hopefully not an ACL. Didn't seem like it "popped" that severely so maybe just hyperextended.

That Chase video does not look promising for his knee. Could be wrong but that flex and immediately grabbing the knee is not good. You can walk it off, that doesn't mean it's not trashed.
 
100% true. Sadly, I know this first hand.

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase said he is fine after he suffered a left knee injury that cut his practice short on Tuesday.

Chase was attempting to haul in a deep pass down the right sideline when the injury occurred. After a few anxious moments, the Bengals star climbed back to his feet and limped off under his own power. He was then briefly evaluated by Bengals head trainer Matt Summers before returning to the sideline to watch the remainder of practice with the rest of the team.

The two-time All-Pro receiver said the injury is considered a hyperextension but not very serious.

Wow that is a huge break! It still seems like something to rest up until fully healed. Something had to get stretched in that knee.
 
Somewhat off topic but how many of those happened on turf and on grass. Curious in the name of science

I think almost all practice happens on grass at least during the summer. For northern domed teams, they may move indoors, but yeah…I’d wager almost all on grass.
