Akers - torn achilles
Watt - torn pectoral
Henry - broken foot
Winston - ACL

It wasn't that long ago not only would you easily miss the rest of the season with these injuries, but you may not even be the same player the following season.

Add on a player like Burrow who suffered his ACL tear pretty fast into the season, yet he's come back with no ill effects.

Winston looks like he could play next week.

Thoughts?
 
Kwon played like himself this season after his Achilles tear too.

I guess that’s why many are saying that Jameson Williams will still be a first rd pick despite that ACL injury.
yep that's another example

great point about Williams and I'm happy for him that that's the case
 
Akers is unreal. Achilles is a serious injury. Ive never seen someone get injured like that preseason and return the same season. He was running like a mad man in his first game back. Laid out Baker. Looked to me to have 0 affects from injury. Wow!

its this one for me especially after tearing mine.

Granted i was 20 years older and didnt have ALL the therapies available to Akers, but to see his play a mere 6 months after surgery was eye-popping.

Yes, Jameson Williams might not go top 10 but he should land in the top 20, no worse than top 25.
 
Cooper Kupp torn his ACL a few seasons ago and came back better than ever. What a steal he’s been for the Rams.
What round was he drafted in? He's a top 5 receiver now.
