How long does a ligament in your knee take to heal?

Depends: Ligaments that have blood supply have the capacity to heal such as medial collateral ligament (mcl) and posterior cruciate ligament (pcl). Time to heal is dependent on the severity of the injury and can range from a few weeks to several weeks. Lateral collateral ligament (lcl) is a poor healer whereas the ACL will likely not heal and require surgery. Discuss your injury with your orthopedist.

Depends: It depends. For example, a mcl sprain can take 4-6 weeks to heal depending on the severity, while an acl usually does not heal without surgery. These concerns should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine.
