Indeed.  Quite possibly an MCL type injury or the dreaded high ankle sprain type, which is typically a 4-6 week recovery period.

If MCL related, the general recovery time below:

[I]If the torn ligament does not heal sufficiently, you may experience instability in the joint, and you will be more susceptible to re-injury. The MCL usually responds very well to non-surgical treatment, although surgery may be required in rare cases. Depending on the severity of the injury, a period of rest, bracing and physical therapy usually is sufficient to heal the tear.
Once the MCL has healed fully, you should have a minimum of long-term effects, providing there was no other damage to the knee.
Recovery times differ depending on the severity of the injury:[/I]

[*][I]A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports.[/I]
[*][I]A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.[/I]
[*][I]A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer.[/I]
