Can i play football? Doctors view please.?

I have completely torn my acl playing football. I want to know if there is any kind of brace that would support my knee enough that i could run and play without it hurting a whole lot or popping out of place like it does. This will only be backyard football not for a school.

if it is torn...nothing...you need surgery
