The message states that the injury originally occurred on Wednesday, and he continued practicing through it on both Wednesday and Thursday.
In keeping with the theme of the Abbrederis family announcing injury news via social media, Jared tweeted on Saturday the confirmation that he the injury he suffered was his ACL.
I know there has been a lot of talk going around about my injury. The acl injury was confirmed this morning and is only a small setback.
