It was both an odd and uncomfortable sight for Cleveland Browns fans when Joe Thomas clutched his arm in pain back in October.
The triceps tear has kept him out since, ending a historic consecutive snaps streak and causing Thomas to question whether he even wants to return to football in 2018.
This may surprise some fans, but it makes perfect sense.
Thomas is already 33 years old and has been in the league since 2007. Not only that, but he played every single snap up until this October. That is an insane amount of time on the field, especially considering how bad the Browns have been for the majority of his time on the team.
