ET80 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 4 minutes ago, AirMcNair said: Do we have some more modern examples of players who've come back to shine after that? At RB? No. But, I remember guys like Steve Smith and Terrell Suggs coming back and playing very well post injury (and both guys were in their later 30s when they did it...) Suggs (2015) eventually came back and posted 8 sacks post injury, 11 sacks two years later at 35. (Edit - Suggs tore it in 2012 as well, came back and racked up 22 sacks over the next two seasons. Incredible...) Smitty (2015) tore his at 36, came back and posted close to 800 yards at 37. So, it's doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Smith as well for the Ravens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ramster Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 My buddy and I have a bet of 500$ we’re both going on Sunday lol. We had lost Akers and I said the bet was still on, only way it’s voided if our QBs weren’t playing. Sucks for him that Henry is everything lol. This was before the season too.. We even signed a contract lol. Would y’all let him off the hook or nah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I honestly didn't know that Henry was capable of being injured. Dude is thought of like a demi-God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Devastating news. He felt like a lock to win his 3rd straight rushing title and put up an all time 3 year run. Any foot injury to a guy his size makes your mind instantly go to a dark place but let’s hope he makes a true recovery and comes back stronger in 2022 due to not having to get tackled another 200+ times.

game3525 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Off-topic, but they need to start to manage Henry's touches better going forward. Like in the KC game, he had 29 carries, but 10 of them were completely unnecessary given the lead. I know he is a workhorse, but 28-30 carries a game is going to catch up to anyone.
