Hartline has no ACL injury, could return by end of season

University of Kentucky junior quarterback Mike Hartline does not have an ACL injury and could conceivably return by the end of the season, Coach Rich Brooks announced at his weekly press conference on Monday.

Hartline does have an torn MCL and a slight PCL tear along with a slight cartilage tear Hartline will undergo non-surgical treatment for several weeks to allow the MCL to heal, and then doctors must determine if he can play with the torn cartilage.
