The two that I can think of

Tyrod Taylor gets injected before the season opener; the team physician punctures his lung; Justin Herbert gets the start

Chris Brown sitting on the bench cleaning his ears with Q-tips, punctures eardrums, basically ruins career (was already on the way there)

Did LSU lose a guy for the season in game one after he celebrated a tackle??

Plaxico shooting himself in the leg and JPP blowing his hand off with fireworks.

Pretty sure we had a qb kick a locker after choking a game and then broke his foot

Arizona Cardinals kicker Bill Gramatica famously tore his ACL while wildly jumping and celebrating a routine 42-yard field goal in the first quarter against the New York Giants on December 15, 2001.

Steve Sparks (Brewers pitcher) once dislocated his shoulder trying to rip a phonebook in half after he was challenged by another player and had to go on the IR and missed making the roster in what was supposed to be his rookie season

My six year old daughter, last night after tumbling class, running across a gym with a bunch of uneven mats and pads everywhere, to get a sucker, and twists her ankle. She has zero sense of chill. Goes full speed for everything. Ended up being okay for gymnastics after about ten mins of sitting down (eating her sucker).

Was it Gus Frerotte that headbutted the wall after a game, sprained his neck, and missed time?

There's a few stories of players falling after tripping over their dog those are hilarious

Dude missed 8 games because of this one. Jokes aside, I guess it could have been worse and dude still had a good career afterwards.




Edit: Didn't realize he played 1 game for the Saints in 2023 and recorded a single tackle.

Maason Smith against FSU in BK’s first year. Got a TFL, jumped to celebrate and tore his knee on like the third play of the year

Can't remember the player's name but a pro golfer had a great tee shot and when walking off the tee box did a little jump to celebrate and severely twisted his ankle causing him to have to withdraw.



Just remembered: It was Tony Finau in a par 3 contest. He dislocated his ankle, not sprained it.
