breaks down Tyreek Hill’s devastating knee dislocation on the Injury Desk, and what Nick Chubb’s career tells us about the long road back.
What is a knee dislocation with multi-ligament damage?
It’s when the ACL plus other stabilizing ligaments tear at once, often with risk to blood vessels and nerves. It’s not just season-ending — it can be career-altering.
The Numbers:
· Isolated ACL tears: 9–12 month recovery, 80–85% return to play, only ~65% return to pre-injury level.
· Multi-ligament injuries: 12–18 month recovery, 60–70% return, much lower chance of full performance.
· Returning before 9 months = 7× higher risk of reinjury.
Why does this matter?
Nick Chubb shows both sides. After his first catastrophic knee injury in college, it took time but he became a top-10 NFL RB for four years. After his second catastrophic injury in 2023? He has not regained that explosiveness, and now plays as a backup.
That’s the difference between returning to sport and returning to performance.
