This guy has yet to be a part of a playoff contender. That could have change with the Cowboys. They may get into the postseason, but he will not be a part of it.

 

[Brock Meaux]

Really hate to see that. He’s a guy that I’ve always respected.

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

Wow that’s terrifying, didn’t even look like he did anything to cause that.

 

[ANKOMA33]

That sucks.

 

[Winter]

I hate these injuries the most. Wasn't anything out of the ordinary. A simple back step under load that the tendon wasn't ready for. I don't know how you even prevent that.

 

[Noble Saint]

Wow

 

[Saint Droopy]

I strained my quad and it was excruciating. I can only imaging how a torn quad would feel.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

At his age, probably the end of his career. Those things are so hard to come back from.

 

[DoubleSaint]

Wow that’s terrifying, didn’t even look like he did anything to cause that.

Terrifying? He ripped a tendon not had a heart attack.

 

[LifeForceDave]

as a physical therapist I was hoping to see more, such a brutal injury. Hate to see anyone get injured though.

 

[abnrgr]

When the body starts to go it doesn’t take much. It just breaks doing normal stuff. Years of wear and tear but it shows up in non contact drills. It happens to us all. I hate that it happened to him.

 

[SweetT]

Think they just released him

 

[gavinj]

Think they just released him

Yep.

He had a clause in his contract for his quad that allowed Dallas to release him with no guaranteed money owed besides his 3 mil signing bonus.

He may not be able to come back

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

Terrifying? He ripped a tendon not had a heart attack.

Did you miss the part where he was rolling on the floor in agony?
