Sucks.
The minute I saw the hit, I thought Carson Palmer. Hope he has a full recovery.
Difference from Palmer is these days ACL or even worse leg injuries don't end careers like they used to. Palmer even came back and was good. I bet he comes back and still has an amazing career because he's super talented.

Sucks. I feel for the kid. Seems like the kind of kid you root for to succeed.
True, guys come back from what used to be career ending injuries more often now. But we also don't know what 'structural' damage consists of. We also don't know if he'll return to anything close to 100% functionality and he uses his athleticism quite a bit.
I think about Jimmy Graham when these type of injuries happen. He had what used to be a career ending injury and he came back from it, but he also went from an elite receiving TE to a middle of the pack player who gets paid by name recognition than talent. So he technically overcame the career ending injury, but it was still career altering.
I'm not sure about having an amazing career. This injury is likely worse enough to significantly affect his career.
Andy Dalton should have proven you wrong. He wasn't an elite talent but he had a great offense to work with and put up elite numbers.
This may work in burrows favor long term if they can now just draft ALL offensive lineman
I’m serious
They should draft OL in every round. That way when he comes back he’ll have protection
What sucks is he was awesome and part of that was his escapability
Hope he doesn’t lose too much mobility. That was a huge asset for him
His left guard is a bum and got him hurt. His whole line are bums but specifically that kid.
They should actually probably sign some vets who actually understand how to pass block at the NFL level then fill gaps with some draft picks.
It's the Bengals tho, they won't do anything and he'll get hurt again. For his sake, I hope he forces his way outta the franchise.
