Adrian Peterson came back from an ACL in like 10 months. Cam Akers tore his Achilles in July and played in the playoffs. Alex Smith damn near lost his leg and came back.


I like how you pick these three while ignoring the hundreds of other players that careers were ended short due to injuries

Name some recent career ending injuries that happened on 1 play.

That’s what was originally claimed, that 1 play can end an NFL players career. In reality, that doesn’t happen much.

The reason I mentioned Peterson and Akers is that those injuries used to be career ending and now they’re barely season ending. Conditioning and medical technology have greatly diminished career ending injuries in football.
