Holy crap. I can't ever remember something like that happening in both legs.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland's Gary Baxter tore patellar tendons
in both knees while trying to break up a pass in the first half of
Sunday's loss to Denver, a devastating injury for the cornerback
and another big loss for the Browns.

Chiefs OL Kelechi Osemele tore tendons in both knees Andy Reid said after game. Osemele had been carted off after being injured in game. Brutal. I remember being at the Texans Broncos game when Derek Newton tore both of his patellar tendons on the same play a few years back.

The only time I ever read about this was when the bears WR in the early/mid 90's had this happen thanks to the field at the old vet.  Both legs in air casts, driven away on a cart.  The (severe)  injuries in the league  just continue

It also happened to Wendell Davis of the Bears getting stuck in that horrific Vet Stadium turf in Philly.

That was it, knee cap went up into his thigh.  Imagine having this happen because of the surface, just terrible.

Really hope he can bounce back and be healthy for his post football life. At this point, have to think this is a definite career ender.

Likely a huge blow for the Chiefs. I remember KO was having a great game against the Ravens a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I think that's it for him. Truly unfortunate.
