MCL Knee Surgery

My CB had MCL Knee Surgery and is out for 32 weeks. He was rated 71/74. How much of a drop can I expect when he comes back?

Someone may show up and post here who has taken the time to figure out which injuries cause long-term damage always, sometimes, and never, but I'm not one of those folks. That being said, it seems that knee injuries have a greater frequency of big-time drops than others. As for how much, hard to say. From major knee injuries I've seen everything ranging from no loss at all, to retirement in the offseason.

Yeah, I'm pretty worried about this injury. There's nothing worse than drafting a guy in the top 10 and then losing him to an injury like this a year later.

It's awful luck. As for the damage done... like Sky said, it could be a wide range. Hope for the best and plan for the worst.
