Who knows, but it is starting to look like it might.

Again, without actual information, I don't think it is starting to look like anything.
Though as a default, you are correct that having been injured is worse than never having been injured.

I guess we will just have agree to disagree on this one. If a football player injures his knee and then re injures it three times in the span of two years, it is (at least IMO) starting to look like a chronic problem that isn't going away.
Having said that I hope you're right. Hopefully Mills will recover and go on to be the player we hoped we were getting when we signed him.

Are we even sure they were all knee injuries, and all to the same knee?  If all to the same knee and all considered setbacks during recovery of original injury, then it would seem likely Mills is done.  But I've never been aware of what exactly the original injury was, or what subsequent ones have been.  I don't ever remember reading or hearing "ACL" and I don't think I did "cartilage" either.

Well, we know that his first two injuries were to his knee (at least if you believe the Atlanta papers), and when Shaw said he had a setback, presumably he didn't mean to his elbow. Also when he left the Davis game, he had an icepack on his knee, so it is probably a good guess that was a knee problem also. It has never been disclosed just what the problem is, but Bobb says it isn't an ACL and he usually knows what he is talking about. While we don't know for sure it was the same knee, it probably is a good guess that it is.
There. Now you know as much about it as I do.
