Green Bay Packers second-year receiver Jared Abbrederis is all about overcoming long odds.
Yet his latest medical setback, a concussion suffered during the first day of training camp, might indicate a greater risk of permanent injury and put an end to a promising NFL career before it even begins.
Might these be odds too great to overcome?
Before the first training camp practice was in the books Abbredaris fell hard to the turf. Later he was seen being escorted off the field by the team’s trainers. The initial fear was that he had re-injured his surgically repaired leg which caused him to miss his entire 2014 rookie year.
