Announcement Taysom Hill out for the season with torn ACL-additional damage per Rapoport [Hill placed on Injured Reserve on 12/6/24]

Yeah McCallum’s injury was so bad the surgeon warned him they might have to amputate his leg it was so bad of an injury had the surgery not gone well.

Yes,he severed an artery and could have bled to death if not for prompt attention. It was the worst I've ever seen.
It was far worse than Theisman's broken leg.

Yep. Tore every knee ligament, tore the hamstring and calf off the bone. All no with damage to an artery I believe.

for the folks saying he's 34 but doesn't have as much mileage..... the dude plays special teams ON TOP of everything else... Dude has parsecs.

What does this have to do with how fast he can do the Kessel Run?

He didn’t want to hear anyone on SR bringing up his fumbling issues again.

Yep, he tore the artery. It was the first of 6 surgeries. It was definitely far worse than Hill's.

McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee. He initially thought he'd only face a lengthy rehab, but McCallum's surgeon told him that there was no chance of him ever being medically cleared to play again. The surgeon said that he normally didn't see leg injuries this severe except in car accidents. Had the subsequent surgery not gone as planned, there was a chance his left leg would have been amputated.[11]

Yeah I remember watching that injury all to well when it happened. That was gruesome.

I’m hard pressed to think of a worse one live in TV as it happened.

There was a Bills player that broke his neck on a kick off during a pre-season game about 10 years ago. They did a procedure on the field that was experimental at the time that saved his life.

Kevin Everett. If I remember correctly the league banned the wedge on kickoffs after his injury.
