Former NFL running back Fred Taylor stated Wednesday that recent medical tests showed he suffered a series of previously unknown injuries during his career, which team doctors never revealed to him.
Taylor, who played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots across a 13-year pro career, explained the situation through a series of posts on his official Twitter account. He noted the examination came after lingering issues with his shoulders:
Visited Chicago last week for full [Orthopedic] exam. Took 11 MRIs and 12 X-rays. Got results yesterday. Somehow I played career with fractured clavicle, two partially torn labrum, one in each shoulder.
