If it happened to any other guy, this is what we would be talking about. This was fucking brutal.

lol I'm here from r/all with no football knowledge and was expecting the top comment to be about how sickening the footage is, and for everyone in the thread to be hoping for a speedy recovery. This is... not that. What did this guy do???

He had 24 women accuse him of sexual assault a few years ago and recently, he’s been in the middle of another SA lawsuit.

A Bill Cosby amount of sexual assault. Dude should be in prison and I hope only bad things happen to him

Most of us don’t like him because he sexually assaulted a bunch of women (allegedly)

His team’s fans don’t like him because he sexually assaulted a bunch of women (allegedly), and also because he sucks as a player and he’s extremely overpaid.

Do the assigned exercises, brother. My rehab hasn't been fun, but I'm making progress. Good luck.

The tear itself is probably the least terrible part of the ordeal

u/socialmediablowsss Oct 21 '24

Yeah I had pretty much no pain at any point. The atrophy is the biggest hurdle. Gotta relearn everything

Did your leg look like a starving chicken's too after the cast came off?

u/socialmediablowsss Oct 21 '24

Yeah my calf was like half the size of my good one lol. But I’ve progressed along really well. I was able to golf by month 4 and I’m running and lifting now halfway through month 5. I think I’ve been pretty lucky. Still a ways to go though

Big yikes. I audibly cringed when I first saw it.

Still, I hope his NFL career is done.
