Yes, but it's not about return on minimal investment as I tried to state.
We could also watch the kid stretchered off the field needing hope to ever walk again on any tackle. Taking that chance has me thinking it might not have been the best idea.
It's not that he just cracked the vertebrae and it healed, but that more neck injuries followed last year which shut him down. It points to the reality that everything isn't quite right there. I'm concerned about it. Quite frankly, I'm more surprised that Hughes didn't retire because of it.
