Victor Butler has torn his ACL

4-6 month recovery time, he will be back and ready to go after the BYE week.

Until then we have plenty of depth.

I thought recovery time was more like 6-9 months, which would pretty much take him out for the season. Not sure though.

IMO this is definitely a loss, but not a "devastating" blow like some are saying.

It varies from opinion to opinion, depends on severity of damage. I found an article from the University of Arizona that stated 4-6 months which not only makes me feel better but I recon when the NFL pours money into a knee it probably heals faster than when the average persons insurance does.

Actually i am going to revise it to a few weeks

As far as I know or can read we do not know if it was a partially torn or complete torn?

TheOak, did you take that picture? I was sitting in almost the exact same spot at that game and remember her well

Nope, wasn't there (thank the lord, my wife would have beat me around the head and neck area for a while). I used it in 2009.

I am of the mind that there is a slim chance having had her as my avatar in 2009 brought us a championship. So.... Lets do it again!

It would've been worth it though...
