NGT: Dak’s injury explained...

Watched it live a few times. Never need to see that again. Hope Dak comes out of it 100% because that was horrifying.

with these types of injuries but some of these athletes are tough as nails.

Dak’s foot looked like a scene out of the exorcist and my take watching it live was as if he was sitting there with his shoe lace untied.

Right after he had rolled his pick-up into a deep gulley.

He had been thrown out of the vehicle and was just sitting there, waiting for the ambulance to come. He was clearly in shock, exhibiting NO pain as the bones protruded through the skin.

It's amazing what the human mind is capable of to protect
itself.

Yes, kind of explains the glass half-full takes on the games...

that he seemed to try to re-set his ankle. Insane.

Same thing happened to me playing rugby.....the memory flashed back the instant it happened.

I guess its human nature....

There was no pain....just shock.

I had thought I destroyed my knee....but realizing it was my foot....i thought cool...and rotated my foot back into my ankle.

Doctor felt I minimized the damage that way.....

I agree. When I first saw it, I was like "Oh, his shoe came off". Then I looked again... gah

Reminded me too much of Joe Theissnan’s injury that ended his career .

God bless him and I don't wish that on anyone.

Reminds me of Saving Private Ryan when they're storming the beaches of Normandy and you see a soldier looking around for his arm

That was brutal but very well explained and I was actually upset about Dak's injury, I dont think he was crying on thr field because he was hurting. He was probably crying because he finally realized he should have signed his contract that was over 100 million dollars. If he cant return he has no income now he is on the tag.

Maybe this will be a lesson going forward to all NFL Players, GREED is NOT a good thing and the tag isnt a tool for you TO get more money. Im sure Dak is feeling pretty sTupid at this time

Wish him the very best and a speedy recovery.

Wasn't the tag worth something like $35M

as I recall. That's worse than a compound fracture, correct?
