An ACL probably means the end if the season. An MCL is very iffy. The ACLs are needed to hold up the knee while cutting whereas the MCL holds an overall support role to the knee and athletes are able to perform with a damaged one.
Of course, the way you slow down move speed rushers is to take out their knees so I hope this is not the beginning of a trend of knee injuries for Clowney. If he can't be explosive, he won't be near the threat he'd otherwise be.
