Examining Chiefs’ legend Nick Allegretti’s UCL tear

A Kansas City Chiefs’ legend was forged in Super Bowl LVIII. Interior offensive lineman Nick Allegretti tore his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his elbow in the second quarter, yet still played all 79 offensive snaps for the Chiefs in their overtime Super Bowl victory.

Since the Super Bowl, Allegretti has (rightfully) been showered with praise from his teammates and Chiefs fans for the effort and guts he displayed in fighting through the injury.

Beast man! We told him we needed him out there and he didn’t miss a snap! @Gretti_53 https://t.
