Chipper Jones ‘Encouraged’ After Injuring Knee
Braves' Chipper Jones said he felt a "distinct pop" in the knee, but he and trainers are confident it's not ACL (he blew out ACL in 1994).
Chipper is encouraged knee didn't swell up afterward, way it did when he blew out ACL. But he isn't sure of severity of injury.
Chipper said he'd wait till Thursday to be examined because Braves' Dr. Royster did his surgery in '94, has seen him every since, etc.
Braves trainer Jeff Porter did tests after injury and told Chipper ACL appeared stable. Pain's in lower-outside part of knee.
The hope remains that this is just a sprain, but no one will know more for sure until Chipper’s MRI.
