Partial ACL tear: If you have good stability in the knee and it does not give out on you then consider return to play. If however it gives out on you and you desire to play football i would seek out your orthopedic surgeon for a possible reconstruction. Sometimes partial tears do well so it's hard to determine until you give it a go. Good luck.
