It's hard to tell if they were moving or just flopping, but I too thought they looked like they both moved.

Good luck to the guy. It's just a game.

Yep.

Millions of people have life long issues from car wrecks. That is nothing new.

Yeah. Definitely. Lots of people have F'ed up backs from car wrecks. My knees are shit anyway.

I don't know if it's enough to get CTE, but I got hit by a semi my freshman year of college and while my belt was on, my head hit the post for the door and I definitely had a concussion. I was too dumb to realize it then, but I do now.

You figured they would run screaming for the hills if he had movement in all his extremities. Instead they have no further comment. Looks like the worst, but I don't know much about back injuries. Hope he can get back to 100%.

Some people don't care to live a real long time if it allows them to be a high profile football player

Of course when they're 55 they may regret it, but 22 year olds aren't broken down 55 year olds yet

And yes, car accidents can cause paralysis. And unlike the modern NFL, death

That's the risk that happens when you are a cheap shoter. Hope he's ok though..

It's possible he may be able to move his legs someone in the future (think months, years) but right now it looks pretty bad.

His career is likely over

Maybe so, but he was extremely valuable to their defense. Fastest LB in the league, he could run sideline to sideline with ease and was fantastic in coverage. If they did have any chance, he was going to be a huge part of the solution.

There’s also fame, high profile connections, free high level education, millions of dollars to set up your family. People play football because they are assholes and love physical play. I’ve read where you get arguably just as much injuries in soccer well as far as concussions go I believe. All physical sports are risky on their own right.

This is exactly why players are trying to get paid after 3 years in the league. People bitched at OBJ about it but this shit can happen at any time.

No comment.

Looks like he straightens his left leg out at one point after rolling over.

I'll remain optimistic for his future health. I ****ing hate the Steelers but this dude has alopecia IIRC. He's already had a rough go of life.

Also, this sort of thing happens frequently but I feel like it almost never turns out as bad as it could. I think the last nasty back injury I saw tha actually lead to something serious was that little Bears WR. Johnny Knox, I think. Good Lord, the way his back bent was unnatural. I think he walks with a permanent limp now.

You CAN be paralyzed from the waist down you know?

Now Joe Mixion is hurt.. looks like he is out...
