Don't skip leg day ladies and gentlemen

That sucks. Season over for them 

 

[KillerKat]

definitely out for season I suppose, but hopefully not career ending.

He looks like he's about to start crying. Says he doesn't have details, but that it doesn't look good.

True, but Zimmer always looks like that. 

I have a really bad feeling about this one and i'm fearing that this could be worse than a season-ender

Based on his responses and that he has already talked to the GM about bringing in other QBs, pretty sure it is season ending. It's weird that they still haven't said what it is. Still wondering if it is worse than just an ACL.

he said he's in MRI right now.

Me too. I'm waiting to see if my hunch is correct. I hope like crazy I'm wrong.

Teddy had to be sedated and Vikings players were throwing up on the field per Rapoport because of how gruesome it was. He could be out next year too. That is some Marcus Lattimer-type stuff.

[Riverboat Ron]

Always liked Bridgewater, hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

[Bozarden]

According to an eye witness Teddys leg 'snapped' and his knee was flailing around. What kind of injury would that be? Sounds horrific

[Nate Dogg]

poo how does something like this happen non-contact?
 I really hate it for him.

This kinda blows for us too. Packers get a free pass to the playoffs now. Gonna be really tough to get that #1 seed again this year.

Total knee dislocation. Basically he would have torn every ligament in his knee and the only thing still attaching his lower leg to his upper leg would be skin, nerves and blood vessels. I don't think I need to elaborate on just how bad that is. The concern at this point may not be playing but walking without a limp for the rest of his life.

Knee injuries can be very gruesome. I know a guy that got hit in the knee while plating high school football and he ended up getting part of his leg amputated. Something about the injury cut off blood flow to his lower leg and the doctors didn't check for it until it was too late
