NGT: LA Chargers TE Hunter Henry tears his ACL

LarmerTJR : 5/22/2018 9:50 pm
At OTAs. Sucks for him. He was primed for a full time role in SD this year.
Wow,

too bad for him.
Terrible news

A real up and coming player
Any chance they bring back Antonio Gates?

If not, how about a trade w/ NYG for the next best thing, Jerrell Adams??

stuff you can really understand why guys opt to stay away from OTA’s. It’s important to be there but you hate seeing these types of injuries. I don’t remember seeing as many non contact injuries years ago. Are these guys lifting too much and losing flexibility?
That's absolutely brutal

He's a very very talented TE who's shown incredible promise

Atleast he will have time to fully heal for 2019 aka his contract season
Chargers are one of the unluckiest teams

I completely agree, especially when they have the leverage to get a bigger contract (e.g. OBJ).
Agreed. Other than classroom work,

I wouldn’t show up and physically participate for the voluntary stuff either.
Chargers are Cursed

Wow
Terrible news for them.
He was going to have s huge role this year
They really are

They seem to lose key offensive players early in training camp on an annual basis.
The JPP of TE’s  
Bleedin Blue : 5/23/2018 11:54 am : link
Should still be available. Sucks to hear about Henry, he should’ve been ready for a bigger role in their offense.

The year Gates is gone... jeez, they really do have terrible luck.

And yeah, this is why I don't begrudge players who haven't been paid yet for skipping voluntaries. This can and does happen almost every year - someone tears an ACL in the spring and that's the end of their season.
Players should wear

knee braces during practices. They'd offer at least a little protection

That's a good idea. Sorry to hear that about a good young player like Henry.

They make no difference.

They aren’t even doing much physically in practice. They’re half speed drills and reps. Very mind boggling how easily these players get hurt.

But when it comes to injuries in the regular season they're pikers compared to the Giants.
