How long does it take to recover if it's just a sprain and not a tear?

Asking because I've never sprained my MCL before.

Maybe a month or two?

About 6 weeks there or thereabouts providing it's not a severe one.

Yeah 4-6 weeks seems to be the usual diagnosis.

Wrestlers work in pain all the time though so KO might try and suck it up if he’s feeling 80ish percent come the PLE

Even with it being WarGames, I think he could be protected just from all the other bodies available in the match to do the crazier spots as well

I think it’d be incredibly stupid on all parts to push to do this

It looks like Kevin Owens will be good to go for War Games at WWE Survivor Series.

As we’ve noted, Owens suffered what was believed to be a sprained MCL at Sunday’s WWE live event in Madison, WI, while defeating Austin Theory. This put his Survivor Series status up in the air.

In an update, a new report from PWInsider notes that Owens is scheduled to be at Friday’s SmackDown in Hartford, and then all TV tapings leading into the Survivor Series Premium Live Event on Saturday, November 26. This would mean he’s also working the November 25 go-home SmackDown in Providence, unless he’s booked for RAW tapings as well.

It was noted by Wrestling Observer Radio how Owens was rehabbing the injury at the WWE Performance Center this week. He was set to get the injury checked out on Monday morning, so this update from PWInsider indicates he was medically cleared to compete at the pay-per-view.

It’s been reported that Owens will join Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Butch, and Ridge Holland inside War Games, going up against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Sami Zayn.​

Hearing a rumor he might be the 5th guy on the WarGames match, this would be a massive blow if he's not in the match.

They could technically replace him.. maybe even throw Gunther in as a wild card pick. But I really think for story purposes and getting to the eventual Owens/Zayn tag team, we need KO there in some capacity.
