Hearing that Sean Lee has an AC joint sprain. Don't know how serious it is but should get news later today when we meet with Garrett.
----------------
It was previously erroneously reported that Sean Lee had no injuries yesterday.
Acromioclavicular injury — Acromioclavicular injury is labeled as a type I, II, III, IV, V, or VI, depending upon the extent of injury and number of ligaments involved. The type of injury can usually be determined with a physical examination and x-rays.

- Type I injuries involve a sprain or partial tear of AC ligaments with no injury to the CC ligaments. This causes a tender AC joint that often has mild swelling. Type I sprains usually heal within a few weeks.
- Type II injuries involve a complete tear of the AC ligaments and a sprain or partial tear of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments. This causes a tender AC joint, often with significant swelling (figure 2).
- Type III injuries involve a complete tear of both the AC and CC ligaments (figure 3). The AC joint will appear abnormal, although swelling may obscure the degree of injury. People with type III injuries have significant tenderness of the CC ligaments, which helps distinguish type III from type II injuries. Type III injuries often take longer to heal (several weeks to months).
- Type IV, V, VI injuries are the most severe. Treatment often requires surgery.
