My initial thoughts are that the team, right or wrong will not give up on him too quickly.  There is more information to come...read that the severity of the injury in not known until the surgeon gets in there and takes a look at it. Panthers surprisingly stuck with Thomas Davis and it paid off.  I know, diff position.  Brooks will certainly have Davis supporting him.  YES...The Panthers will NOT give up on him. Hope springs eternal. There is always that...

Anyone know any rb's in the past who have faced this and the outcome? Just hope with the surgeon does get to access the news is better then feared.  In the meantime, love what Chuba is doing.  YES !!! Thank goodness we have Chuba.

A hard lesson for Dan Morgan. I don't really blame Dan. "Sometimes you gotta take a shot..."

Wide receivers and running backs  Yes, but I don't think any other position is as tough on the legs (knees) as RB.
About 62% of these players return to play, but their performance decreases compared to a control group.
Overall
67.6% of NFL players return to play after ACL reconstruction, but only 41.3% play two seasons after injury and 28.5% play three seasons after injury.
Thanks for looking this stuff up. You beat me to it.!!

I’m thinking at his position the young man is more than likely done. Hope he has a great education and a very meaningful life… seemed to be good character. Poor poor decision by Morgan but hopefully he learns from it. Right.

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking ,,  but  : Adrian Peterson --Yes - ONCE.!!

In 2012, Peterson returned to play in the Vikings' season opener just eight months after tearing his ACL and MCL on Christmas Eve in 2011. Peterson went on to have an arguably historic season, averaging more than six yards per attempt and being named the NFL's Most Valuable Player. 4 --YES

In other sports...  maybe or maybe not as much wear and tear on an ACL  to come back better,  Tom Brady,  Lindsey Vonn ( probably the most torque on ones knee  , Alpine downhill skier )  Thomas Davis, we all know...

There are others

So he can come back if all the stars are aligned

First & OP -- Exactly right. There is, however, one important distinction. Other than Thomas Davis who played a much different position, ....... Is there a RB - Running Back who EVER returned from MULTIPLE ACL tears/reconstructions on the same knee..???  I don't know, but I think not. 

I believe that the Panthers WILL give him all the support possible. I think he WILL make an attempt. But, seriously, what are the chances he returns with 100% of the strength and ability he had before the two knee surgeries.?? -- I guess it COULD happen.??

This sucks !!
