Kenny Phillips’ season is over. And it may be worse than that.
The Giants today said he’s been diagnosed with patellofemoral arthritis in his left knee. Not only is that enough to put him on injured reserve. It is, according to a noted orthopedist (who it should be noted has not examined Phillips or his MRI results), a career-threatening condition.
“I would have rather them said he tore his ACL and his MCL,” said Dr. Craig Levitz. “That’s a much better injury to have. We can fix that. If he tore his meniscus, we can fix that. Even if he tore his knee ligaments, we can fix those. It’s just a matter of how good he rehabs whether he gets back.
As a Hurricanes fan and someone who's watched and followed Kenny since he was just a Freshman at Miami, this is very sad to see especially after such a monster start. He has star potential and hopefully this isn't a threat to end his career.
