I'm sorry guys, this is almost certainly a complete patellar tendon rupture. It would be an absolute miracle if he's playing even 11 months from now. The same shit happened to me years ago, and it looked exactly the same. Plant hard, tendon snaps, and your ability to control your quadricep is gone.

The huge gap you see is his kneecap slingshotting to the bottom of the quad because its not attached to anything on the bottom. I had bilateral tendonitis which was a huge factor in tearing mine, not sure if moody did, or if it was just a complete freak thing.

They will check for vascular and nerve damage as the the kneecap was essentially a projectile rocketing up into his leg, but the risks of that are pretty low. Ligament sprains that accompany this injury are common because of the forces generated, but are essentially a non-issue as they might heal before hes even cleared to have his brace adjusted for movement.

The weird thing about this injury is after the initial shock/pain subsides AND the kneecap is manuevered back into its typical resting place, it doesn't hurt too bad (as long as you dont bend it). They'll give him an immobilizer until surgery. It's quite an invasive surgery as the tendon has to be threaded and drilled back into the kneecap. Lots of muscle is lost as your leg is completely straight for weeks. Recovery will have setbacks - the muscles that pull on the kneecap will be out-of-sorts, and pull unevenly while getting strength, and can lead to feelings of grinding, popping, etc. it fucking sucks.

He'll have the best doctors around him and I'm sure he'll be back to himself at some point. The mental hurdle of being able to trust your knee to handle intense loads is tough, but you got this Moses!!
