The guy was rolled into an emergency room just a few hours ago. Clearly someone at the hospital leaked this to NFL Network.

It is basically the same back injury Tony Romo has... hopefully it won’t make Cam play like Romo.

“Oh man. Watching these guys play and I’m always thankful when they don’t get hurt on a Sunday.”

I have had several current players and former players tell me that the games on TV are actually ‘shows’. They say that the practices are brutal and that that is where most of the injuries occur.

If the hospital did they should have to answer for that.

I had that same injury. One vertebrae.
Hurts like hell for a few days but recover quickly.
I recovered quickly on civilian drugs. I can imagine the drugs the NFL has...

Did they throw a Flag for roughing the Passer?

I think that is a personal foul and 15 yards are assessed.

/sarcasm

DOHC :)

Hell the panthers are only a 1/2 game out of first place in their division.

I hope he gets well soon.

Don’t know how it compares, but Romo had fractures in his back and came back.

I used to bash Romo as much as anyone, but he's having a heckuva year, despite all of his injuries.

Dodge pickups are built to turn over.

The Panthers are going nowhere in the playoffs!

They are below .500, and it would be amazing if they survived their first game.

Hopefully the other driver wasn’t a white cop.

That lift kit that raises the cg by 8 inches probably doesn’t help either.

I think the Falcons will win out and take the division.

Correct!

My son put a kit in his Ford 250, and I jabbed him on it constantly. I called it his penis extension.

At a minimum, should add roll bar in the bed.
Obviously Cammy could afford to have the Nascar boys in Charlotte build him a custom one at the “fab shop”.
They’d probably do it for free if he came and signed autographs.
