Meniscus tear: You can play sports with a tear, but please understand that the meniscus will generally not heal with or without a brace. In fact, it will likely tear further with activities such as football. You should avoid high impact activities ; twisting/pivoting. Best to get the meniscus fixed as soon as possible.

Generally not.: Bracing does not help with meniscal tears. With a twisitng/ pivoting sport like football, you may make it worse.
