Injuries are natural of any sport. If you played sports for long as I have you will obtain a few injuries. You will have a few knicks and bruises along the way. Whether the injury is major or if the injury is minor you’ve had at least 1 injury because you literally put your body on the line on every play and every down. You may have to have surgery, or you may just have to ice it but an injury in the game of football and sports period is inevitable, you can’t avoid it. I’ve had shoulder, finger, ankle, and back injuries throughout my career and I’ve had to sit multiple games and missed a whole season because of a broken finger that required surgery to fix.
Most recently I had a torn labrum in my shoulder that required surgery. This particular injury will take the longest to recover from. At least 9 months of rehabilitation to come back at 100%.
