The Most Gruesome Injury Of The Year

WARNING!!! If you are squeamish, I suggest you don't view the clip and take my word for it that it's awful.



This is from last Sunday's Packers/Vikings game, where Minnesota punt returner Charles Gordon's season ended on a gruesome injury on a return.

Gordon broke his leg while he was tackled at the end of a punt return. He fielded the punt inside the 10, headed upfield and was immediately met by two Packers. As he planted his left leg to change direction, one of the defenders rolled up on the leg and the ankle gave way. He lay motionless on the turf while athletic trainer Eric Sugarman rushed out to see him.

Coach Brad Childress said Gordon needed to have a pin inserted into his leg, indicating a bad break, and he's undoubtedly lost for the remainder of the season.

"Sorry to see him go, and go like that," Childress said.

Gordon was in the locker room on crutches after the game, wearing hospital scrubs

I wish him a safe and speedy recovery.
