Depends: This is your knee telling you it's not ready for football: if you had a high grade mcl it might just need more time to heal. Could also be associated injury-i'd get a thorough exam by a knee/sports med specialist. If you have not had one, it might be time for an mri. Also, you should be actively rehabbing your knee to prep for return to play. Get a rec from your doc re bracing. Good luck!
