I don't know this for sure, but my suspicion is Skov's injury was more serious than the Phillips injury.  Skov had more than one ligament tear did he not?

Correct, Skov suffered the dreaded unhappy triad (O'Donoghue's triad), also known colloquially as a blown knee.  He suffered ACL and MCL tears and (likely) a meniscus injury (most commonly the lateral meniscus).  On top of that he had a tibial plateau fracture.

By the way, how awesome is this picture?

That's my memory as well.  Skov had a near catastrophic injury.  Phillips' is just your average, run of the mill, God-damn-that-hurts variety.
