Hard to say: It is hard to say, simply because the specific nature of the injury is not known. Some people might think they had sprained their knee and actually had a major ligament injury to the ACL for example, or others might have truly had a mild injury. As you get more comfortable, it is not unreasonable to progress your weight bearing as tolerated, if any question I would be seen.
