BleedTheClock Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Oof. Sucks. Ross is a bonafide superstar. Hopefully he comes back fully healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveOurSonics Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Better to get ahead of this than have it pop up at Combine medicals. Hopefully he can come back strong by testing season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 How did no one ever see this? Was that the only time in his life he had a X-ray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 So... is this a long term thing? Is it going to raise medical red flags, or is it just something he can fixed and be good to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some of these congenital neck anomalies are syndromes that may or may not include cardiac and kidney abnormalities. I’d say there’s a fair chance that his career could either be over or significantly limited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Rough. He was a first round pick, easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Man that stinks, he is such a talent. Hopefully, he can work his way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hate to hear that, hope he has a speedy and complete recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 This morning on the radio, there's speculation that he "may never be able to play football again". Wow, that's awful and I hope not accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ouch. That's really unfortunate. I always hate hearing about guys who have something pop up in college or Combine testing that can change their course that much at such a young age. It's easy to armchair QB and say "student athletes should have a backup plan" (and yeah, they should) but that doesn't take away the hard work they put in to get where they are, especially guys who, even with a down season, are staring at a guaranteed draft pick. Work is work, and to see it possibly be for naught is just awful. Silver lining is that, given it's a neck/vertebrae issue, they found it now instead of later. I imagine it's the type of thing that could land someone in a wheelchair with a bad hit or fall. So at the very least, there's that. Shame though, I was looking forward to watching him this year.

Wow, that's awful and I hope not accurate. Hopefully, it's just some guy talking because they heard "neck issue". What a punch in the gut that would be one year away from making your dreams come true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Heartbreaking for the kid. Hopefully he recovers fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yet another reason it's idiotic these guys don't get paid. He just lost tens of millions of dollars, he could have at least made a little bit of that while playing with Clemson. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
