Fisher handles these type of pressers so well IMO. I know I would have probably gone off at that point with all of the bad luck injuries going on during the game followed up by persistent pushing of the media with the same question disguised in different forms. Heck, I was short with my wife during the injury and the rest of the night cause I was so pissed. I can't imagine dealing with the media.
I found it interesting that he said he "does not want to be Schefter like" in regards to commenting on the injury. I read into that saying basically someone on the inside released the info to Schefter that the initial, manual tests showed no positive signs of an ACL tear, however whenever injuries like this occur they always use an MRI to determine if other structural injuries may have been sustained. So even though he may have passed the initial, but very vague and not 100% accurate manual ACL test, the MRI would reveal all the info. And Fish simply did not want to say "yea, his ACL is fine and he will be o.k." when in actuality there is a chance he still have some kind of significant injury.
As far as Tru goes. It does not take much to know that anytime a player rides off on a cart with his head covered in a towel to know that his season is probably over. Again, Fisher showed his experience by not jumping to conclusions and ruling him out without the MRI tests confirming so. In a way it kind of scares me he feels optimistic on both Tru & Sam. Tru's injury looked pretty rough and I see no way he returns this year. I hate to put him and Sam as having the same chances of returning because Sam's injury did not look nearly as brutal. But again, what do I know.
