I wonder if he has an underlying problem for a leg to do that on a drop back.


he may have been on a medication that leeches calcium. there are a lot of them.

he might have a kidney issue. some kidney issues cause the body to lose calcium from bone.

Teddy from what I recall never had any knee problems/injuries at Louisville. He did play on a injured ankle against Rutgers his Sophomore season but that was about it. Sounds like a complete freak accident. Hate to hear this. If anyone deserved success it's him.

There are rumors that he had had his leg amputated. I doubt it's true though.

I know it was non-contact but did he accidentally get rolled up on? I haven't read anything but vague tweets.

Sad news indeed. You would not expect a professional athlete to get hurt in a non contact practice. Wow. Hope he bounces back.

That dislocated knee is a recurring issue, but glad to see it's not some compound fracture Joe Thiesman shite.

I've been lurking in this thread because I keep hoping for good news.

At least, from this source, it appears that Bridgewater had "no nerve or arterial damage." That's a bright spot for such a horrible fluke injury.

I find it absolutely insane that he suffered a compound fracture from a non-contact injury


Who was the basketball player in the Final Four a few years ago that had that gruesome leg injury while jumping and landing on his leg? Was it a guy from Louisville??

Just read on Twitter that post surgery Adrian Peterson is giving a blood infusion to Teddy. They expect Teddy to be back for Week 4 full go.
