Injuries are part of NFL football—everybody knows this. However, they are particularly devastating during preseason games, especially when the players getting hurt end up losing the season—or worse.
The first night of preseason action in 2015 brought with it more than a few injuries, some of which looked pretty bad. Brandon Browner of the New Orleans Saints and Niles Paul of Washington were both carted off during their games, and Paul’s injury in particular looked pretty gnarly.
This got us thinking about the past. Many a career has been forever altered during these scrimmages and during training camps—some to devastating effect.
