Apparition Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That's a brutal injury. Definitely among the hardest to recover from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Not a fun injury, incredibly painful. Given his knee injury history, this might be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That injury ruined Victor Cruz's career. Awful to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did end it for a Browns center in 2006 but that was also related to an infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly could bounce back... Others have, but this is about the worst injury you can have in the NFL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legit forget. Edit: Patellar tendon, yep. Cadillac Williams was looking like a future stud in the making until he blew his patellar tendon out... that's always the one I remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Williams was looking like a future stud in the making until he blew his patellar tendon out... that's always the one I remember. It was bad. It looked like a completely normal play too. I will never forget that game- getting blown out by the Eagles (as usual), we try to get a garbage time touchdown, Cruz misses an easy catch, and then I get angry until the camera shows him literally crying on the turf. He didn't play for 2 years after that, and he was never close to the same. In fact, I found this article when looking back at that game just now: https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/victor-cruz-recover-knee-injury-doctor-article-1.1973081 Undoubtedly the worst injury in football, followed by the Achilles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I’m about as far from an NFL athlete as you can get at 5-10.5 and 170, but I never have or will (according to my surgeon) fully recovered from my partially torn patella tendon. I wish him the best. He may be done forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_allday2869 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We took a receiver in 2012 named Greg Childs who tore both of his patellar tendons during training camp that year, and he never played again. I hope that not the same for Conklin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
