Bad News For Jets fans…

…as bad as the news to be delivered Monday when the Pats hand them their third defeat?

 

Safety Jim Leonhard, who calls the defensive signals in the secondary, has a broken right leg that required surgery Friday night, hours after he was injured during a collision at practice.

The team declined to speculate on Leonhard’s playing status until after the surgery, but it appears likely to be a season-ending injury.

“I just think we were all crushed,” defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said. “He’s such a tough guy and normally he bounces back, bounces right up from stuff.”

 

"He’s such a tough guy and normally bounces back, bounces right up..."  from a broken leg?

I guess sports medicine has come a long way.  This guy busted his tibia.  Of course it never penetrated the skin.   That’s encouraging.  Seeing bones sticking out of flesh is reserved for serious injuries and great television shows like The Walking Dead. 

I suppose the Jets have the cash.  They could rebuild him.  Make him better than he was.  Better. Stronger.  Faster.

Deh neh nah nahhh
