Sucks that this happened to him in particular. Shudda happened to Isaiah Crowell or Honey Badger.

I just read a tweet and a retweet that said he had a broken femur AND tore all 4 ligaments, making this the worst knee injury ever. my apologies to all of you for my doubts

Could be a proximal tib-fib. Looked to me when I saw it live that a trainer popped it back in on the field.

Just watched the video filmed from the view of the backfield. That’s a fibula/tibia.

(and obviously I’m just some asshole who could only stomach seeing that shit twice) like two twisted and broken lower leg bones.

Looks like the knee was dislocated and popped back in on the field.

I’m going to watch this one more time and diagnosis. Since I know anatomy and whatnot.

/Watches video.

The video ends with, “Hopefully, we’ll watch him run out of this tunnel.” And then it ends. That is unfortunate.

Also, I will not rule out Clay’s diagnosis. That leg was really floppy. Not sure on the dislocated knee theory. A knee is held together much different than a shoulder.

you guys with your “worst thing I’ve ever seen” business.

Don’t you remember EJ Henderson two years ago, doing this exactly same thing, but above the knee, and then doing a cartwheel with a floppy leg?

Or Tim Krumrie in the second Cincy/San Fran Superbowl, doing a full sideways roll?

Or the big dude Bryant from the 49ers who took the crown of the helmet to the shin, and the shin lost, and his leg shattered backwards?

Or Joe Theismann, or Greg Bell? If you’ve watched football long enough, you’ve seen this exact thing 50 times.

Yeah, that’s gruesome, but I don’t think it’s a knee injury. That looks to me (and obviously I’m just some asshole who could only stomach seeing that shit twice) like two twisted and broken lower leg bones.

I’m the same way. Accidentally saw it twice. I think it looks like he shattered his leg too. But, I’m just another asshole on my couch, so who knows.

Babar I still remember where I was when I saw that injury. It still makes me ill to think about it. The worst thing I have ever seen…

The look on the poor kid’s face may have been worse than the injury. That instant look of shock. Just so hard to watch.

Napoleon McCallum still leads the pack for me.

Really not nice to say that he flopped, Duffy.

ha!

that looked far worse than mcgahee’s.

Thought the same. With the way his leg is flopping, that’s ACL, MCL, and PCL destruction.

They keep showing this fucking injury too. I can’t take that shit. I feel horrible for the kid. Hopefully it’s just a busted wheel.
