Even before Saturday's early game had finished, reports began circulating that Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin had torn the ACL in his right knee again, and would be done for the year. These reports were based on a positive Lachman Test, a common on-field knee examination that has a very high accuracy rate in diagnosing ACL tears. Fortunately, this was the exceptional occasion on which the positive test (which was actually administered twice) was false: an MRI scan revealed that Maclin suffered a high ankle sprain, but no knee injury. It is possible that Maclin's knee ligaments may have some residual looseness following the two previous repairs, leading to the false positive.
