Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the 2014 season, the team announced today.

Weatherspoon was working with the Falcons medical staff when the injury occurred.

“During Sean’s run today with our medical staff, he suffered an injury,” head coach Mike Smith said. “We sent Sean to the doctor for some additional testing and evaluation and unfortunately the results showed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

 

 

 

 

You rupture it while working WITH medical staff?

 

Pro tip: Keep anyone on the Falcan'ts medical staff the hell out of Charlotte.

Don't blame the medical staff, some poo just happens. Sucks for him.

[YoungPanthers89]

Yeah because our LB's have had such a great injury history over the years

[Kurb]

He's a hell of a player. Hate to see that happen to any pro.

Weatherspoon has not really been healthy in a while so....

Kind of ironic suffering a season ending injury while working with the medical staff. Feel bad for the guy though, great player

Damn

[vorbis]

brutal injury. panthers fans i think can empathize with falcons fans' feelings right now. i always respected his game and thought he was one of their better defensive players. i know they drafted FOUR LB's this year so at least they're as prepared as you can be. still, he seemed like the closest thing to the heart and soul of that defense. really seems like a big loss, even though he has been injured a lot.

Injuries suck even for teams I hate.

[rayzor]

ouch.

Now the fans are calling him a bust

Hell, I'll happily take him off their hands.

Good player when healthy but he hasn't stayed healthy. That LB corps in ATL just lost it's best player and was already pretty weak. They need some guys to step up big time.
