I sincerely hope he does, but sadly that's just not how this injury usually goes.

What are the outs in his contract look like?

Yeah obviously the NFL data would show that. There's worldwide soccer studies saying otherwise. Chelsea only came to BOA if they installed grass for 1 game for a reason. 

yeah bro just trust the NFL bro they would never lie to us bro, Rodger is a stand up guy bro trust me.

not good for next year but after that just 3 million dead cap for the 3rd year. Hopefully he can come back and play well next year, if not he will be cut. Sucks for the guy but at least he got a nice lil bag before this happened.

Sucks for him. But his injury history was the reason I wasn’t happy we resigned him. Which I feel was a Rhule move, like extending Ian Thomas.

All those corners.

Well, here's hoping he recovers fully. We move on, some other guys are going to get opportunities.

Achilles ended Jon Beason's career. Smitty came back from it though. Good luck Jackson.

Maybe pro soccer teams have an agenda? Does this guy?

The data supports the anecdotes you’ll hear from me and other players: artificial turf is significantly harder on the body than grass. Based on NFL injury data collected from 2012 to 2018, not only was the contact injury rate for lower extremities higher during practices and games held on artificial turf, NFL players consistently experienced a much higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries on turf compared to natural surfaces. Specifically, players have a 28% higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries when playing on artificial turf. Of those non-contact injuries, players have a 32% higher rate of non-contact knee injuries on turf and a staggering 69% higher rate of non-contact foot/ankle injuries on turf compared to grass.

Perfect timing

Good info Jackie Lee. The Tepper defense force doesn't want to hear it but IMO it's only a matter of time before we go back to real grass.
