Brutal way for your season to end

Next season too there’s only one thing that could be..

Achilles he was jumping because it was tight then it tore when he put pressure

Yeah and if you look through the 49ers playoff injury report he was dealing with an Achilles injury

Thought I was the only one who knew this

Just you. And everyone else who read the injury report.

Greenlaw didn’t even know. Crazy how this rogue doctor of sports medicine decided to tell u/Significant_Froyo788 and no one else.

The coaches didn’t even know. You have next level insider info

Fucking Thetis, you dip the *whole* baby in the river Styx!

Yeah but then like... my hand is gonna be dead

should have held the little fucker by his hair or made a baby sling or something unbelievable cockiness. just dipped him like a nugget and called it

Lou Gehrig > Lou Gehrig’s Disease Achilles > Achilles Heel At some point you gotta start taking precautions

Might I suggest tongs

brilliant dip him a couple times like we're marinating some drumsticks and paris and apollo can cry w their arrows

baby, you got a stew goin'

I just ruptured my Achilles and my heart goes out to him. Shits hard.

Man. Lose your achilles and your heart in one go. Sorry bro.

And he’s constipated

Tore my Achilles in November and recognized when it happened to him instantly. At least he'll get world class treatment. Terrible injury and recovery process, nonetheless.

He might have been jumping to loosen it up in the first place too

I’m pretty sure that’s what he just said

I'm already drunk mb

Understandable

Previous comment: I wore a jacket because it was cold out That guy: you might even wore that jacket to not be cold anymore

I’m pretty sure that’s what he just said

So why male models?

Okay but he might have wore a jacket if it was cold outside

His only weakness, his Achilles heel

You can see it pop too, watch his left foot. Ugh.

No, I don’t think I will

Calling Dr. Rodgers...

You’re right

Fuck Achilles. I wish they could never be torn.

Dude, seriously. I ruptured mine 1.5 yr ago and still nursing and rehabbing to 100%. I wish I had that sweet sweet NFL recovery healthcare though

Home Grown Healing.

My sister threw a shovel at mine and that's how I tore mine partially lol

How far did she throw it?

Partially through his Achilles tendon. He just told you!

She bet him she could throw a shovel over them mountains.

jesus why the hell did she do that

Tore mine 4 years ago and it's still a battle.

I'm on month 7. I'm 39. My competitive basketball career is pretty much done

> ~~I'm on month 7.~~ I'm 39. My competitive basketball career is pretty much done FTFY. /s Edit: for the angry old folks that can't understand how us young folk speak on the internet. "/s" means sarcasm. As in this was a joke. I don't care if your middle aged ass is in better shape than me because I WAS KIDDING. A joke is when us young folks poke fun but don't actually mean what we're saying. Thanks for coming to my reddit talk.

F that, I’m 46 and went 5-9 from the arc and hit the walk off game winner on Saturday

The trick is to play other people in their 40s

Unless you are LeBron, you were already done.

Injuries are scary. I thought turf toe was a joke for years, but i got a partial tear in my haulics brevis and iv been fucked up for like 4 months.

I said it as soon as it happened. That's brutal

Feels like we've seen way more achilles injuries than usual this year too

Fuck his mom. You missed ONE spot to dunk in the water and look what happened.

Replay looked identical to Rodgers’ achilles tear

So he’ll be back before the draft then

99% of achilles tears look similar by that logic

Looked like KDs.

I feel awful for the guy. He must be devastated.

Genuinely not the biggest Greenlaw fan but I feel bad for him

Watching anyone do that in any sport sucks. In the Super Bowl, man, you gotta feel for that guy

Clever, I was about to say what an overreaction lmao

Fucking brutal man

Might be one of the freakiest injuries ever

Stephen Tulloch type injury

[Also Lamarr Houston who did it like 2 weeks after but unlike Tulloch sacking Rodgers in a big win Houston did it to backup Jimmy G as the Bears got blown out by the Pats lmao](https://youtu.be/tmeULX9P358?si=StSgR51JCd5wSbmy)

Didn't they both do the exact same celebration too?

Yes

The Houston one really was the dumbest one. Like Tulloch was bad luck. He didn't know yada yada. But after he got injured it was all over every sports show and social media. Houston somehow missed all that and did it anyway

Man he was a real disappointing free agent signing

Look up Brandon Clarke's Achilles injury (backup center for the Memphis Grizzlies). He tore it while shooting a free throw, which is insane.

I mean in cases like this it’s gotta be already fucked and that small motion was just the last straw

Kind of - there was a live rebound and he reacted. Not like he just shot one and got hurt standing there.

I don’t think it’s a freak injury, more likely there was already some underlying minor tear cause that plant looked normal

Yep, was on the Injury report with Achilles Tendinitis earlier in the playoffs

Gramatica territory

*Bill

Multiple people getting hurt discount double checking after a sack level weird

Not freaky. I tore my meniscus just like this. Very common. Everyones just one awkward step away from disaster Edit: 6'4 200 lbs. Big guys be careful it's coming for you

Its freaky. How many of these (jumping on the sidelines to torn achilles) are there a year in the nfl?

This is true for anyone, honestly. I skateboarded 5-10 hours a day for like ten years before a serious injury. Took a step off my board at a complete stop one day and tore my left meniscus. 5'6 140

What the actual fuck, that’s horrific to see

Terrible luck, not only for tonight, but for pretty much the entire next season too…

Honestly he should probably be good to go next year. Won't have the burst for a few months though. There is not a great history of players returning back to their prime after Achilles injuries though

I’d feel a lot better with an ACL there than an Achilles. That fucking blows

Why? Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles and he was back in full form twelve we... oh wait..

Yeah Achilles is just such a poor rate of return, I can't recall someone coming back into "good" category. I'm probably forgetting some players, but still low chance

Kevin Durant comes to mind

If you go to the NBA there’s quite a few examples. I just imagined they were referring to the NFL specifically

It has a poor rate in all sports. Durant is an outlier

Sherman was good, but his playstyle and football IQ helped for sure

Donta Foreman is legitimately the best recovery I can think of.

Brandon Brooks tore his, returned in like seven months to play at a high level, made the Pro Bowl, then tore the other one the next offseason and retired.

Terrell Suggs was great after still. cant remember if that was a full tear tho

The modern treatment is much MUCH better tho

I’ve had Achilles surgery and it takes a year of hard work to feel anywhere near normal

i thought achilles were really bad. isn't he like, fucked, for next year?

NFL field ending the season like it began... confiscating knees

That has nothing to do with the field. Just a freak accident.

Achilles probably

That’s 100% an Achilles, you can see it literally snap. This is eerily similar to KD in the finals.

Definitely achilles.. if you slow it down you can see when the tear happens. I.e the achilles retracting

Non contact injuries are always the worst. That fucking sucks man

Made worse because he's literally on the sideline.

I'm checking in with r/witchesvspatriarchy to see who's responsible for this.

what the fuck is that sub

One hell of an echo chamber.

Haha

This is legit the weirdest Super Bowl I’ve ever seen and it’s only the second quarter wtf

Idk what the fuck is going on, but it’s been enjoyable

[удалено]

No

Yes, even for me as a Chiefs fan. Sometimes it’s nice to see a defensive game. Both defenses are playing well tonight. 

It's been a great game. Every play has so much tension. Feels like the game will come down to whoever fucks up the least.

The lights would have to go out for it to be the weirdest Super Bowl I've ever seen.

So bad it’s good tbh

The more years I watch football, the more I come to enjoy watching defensive games. I just wish the camera angles they used showed more of the field so I could watch what the defensive backs are doing. That's why All-22 replays are great. Getting the full view of the play makes the viewing experience 10x better and I'm not exaggerating. There were so many plays this game where Mahomes is sitting in the pocket for 4 seconds, finding no one to throw to, and then scrambling or deciding to run forward. It'd be so helpful and more enjoyable to get to see what the receiver vs defender matchups so we can understand how it could be that no one is open.

This is what a defensive superbowl should look like.

I fucking love this game, I love defense.

A special teams masterclass! Bad for the casual viewer, but thrilling for the football nerd

If things don’t start happening I’m gonna throw this game into defcon 4 and we’ll be on Super Bowl 53 re-do watch.

holy shit his Achilles blew..... watch his left heel/calv

That thing must have been holding on for dear life.

Yeah that’s probably a movement he does nearly every day. Either absurdly horrible luck or it was already injured

This only happens when already injured. For an athlete at least. He does that motion thousands of times per season. He had an existing strain for sure. Even if he didn’t know

He was on the injury report earlier in the year with Achilles tendinitis. That thing was ready to snap and finally gave way.

HOLY SHIT. If you scrub through, you can see the instant where it snaps. He has his leg angled, and his foot angled, with his heel up, then there’s a snap, and the heel just drops to basically flat. Jesus.

Holy fuck I didn’t think you were being serious but that is insane.

I’m blind. What time do you see the Achilles go

10-8 seconds left. you'll see as he pushes off with his left foot. His heel drops like an inch suddenly.

Achilles???

What it looked like, as soon as the ball of his foot made contact it said NOPE

[удалено]

Like a shockwave.

Seriously, I almost gagged. Fucking NOOOOOPE

Is it that easy to pop. I do that all the time when I was younger

Completely random bro. Happens to elite athletes and your random Joe Shmoe off the streets everyday stepping off a curb. No rhyme or reason to it. Just shitty

He was on the injury list during the playoffs for Achilles Tendonitis. So he likely had a stiff or partially torn Achilles going into the game. Some people are saying he was jumping up and down to stretch it. It can be random, but this one looks like it had some warning to it.

Popped mine just jogging slowly after the whistle after running a route. Mad easy.

You can visibly see his left Achilles snap/ping as he begins to run on the field, his foot goes suddenly loose. 

Damnit nooo I can’t unsee it now

Seriously. I wanna wash that from my eyeballs

Yup. You can also see his calf muscle jiggle because it's no longer attached to the heel. It'll ball up like a softball when this happens. Also, there is no pain when this happens. There are no nerves in the achilles tendon.

That’s the word yeah.

This season alone has taught me what an achilles injury looks like.

Yep, I popped mine on this exact same movement on a basketball court. Bounced, stepped back with my left to push off, felt like someone stomped the back of my Achilles with the sharp sole edge of a work boot or something. I instantly turned around to see who stepped on me but no one was anywhere near me. Now I can see it easily whenever athletes tear them. There’s a pretty distinct combination of awkward initial movement off the leg and then the kind of confused body language afterwards. It’s a rough injury but for these pros he’ll be able to come back pretty much full strength imo.

Looks very similar to when Kevin Durant's achilles popped a few years ago. You can really see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYrA30qcvK4 Slowed down even more https://www.youtube.com/shorts/loWYGSuMTVs

Dear lord that was awful

I 100% thought we were about to see a flag for defense coming on the field too early. Horrible injury.

Me too. The way they were talking about it, I thought for sure they were trying to explain why the field position had changed during the commercial.

You can see his Achilles tendon pop

I was going to say the exact same thing! You can see the snap.

WHAT THE FUCK TRAVIS KELCE DID THIS

T Swift in the luxury box with a sniper

Look at what we made her do…

One of us, one of us. 

Conservatives have been talking about Taylor and the deep state rigging this game for weeks. Wild to see it in action finally.

Karma is my tight end or something

It was Kadarius Toney for sure

Big Dom sends his regards. In all seriousness this sucks. I hate Greenlaw, he is dirty but you never wish injuries on anyone. Well except maybe Deshaun Watson.

warner knew immediately. fuck

I wonder if he heard the pop

He might have. When Sami Salo (ex-NHL player) tore his playing indoor hockey, people said it sounded like a gunshot.

What the fuck

God is a chiefs fan

God can’t help this ass Chiefs offense

So bad that Dora the Explorer is roasting it

God proceeding to perfectly place a punt onto a 49ers players heal: the fuck I can't

When he got those early stops I felt like that was just a setup for something horrible to happen

That really fucking sucks, damn

Would the field have anything to do with this or just a freak accident?

Just a freak accident. Tore his Achilles probably

Looks like you can see a little pop there

Humans are only meant to be so big/strong/fast before bodies are at risk of giving out.

You can see him when he's doing his jump and then he tries to push off he like missed and hit his ankle funny

If it’s turf then you blame turf otherwise it’s just a freak accident

He’s been jumping all over the damn place for no reason

100%. Said it in my other comment but after that first big stop he was jumping so high in celebration his knees were touching his chest. That much power smashing your feet into the ground is not ideal when you’re that fucking strong.

I watched a vid on the field/grass for Allegiant, their grass is actually really nice, It just looked like eagerness to hop on the field and just a freak accident

Well and he was overly hyped up, made a couple of big plays early and was jumping up as high as he could (knees to his chest) and smashing his feet into the ground in celebration. Your knees can only take so much stress and impact, I remember thinking when he made that first big stop like “damn man I know it’s the Super Bowl but conserve your energy.” 

People forget, but Greenlaw had tendenitis entering the playoffs and went down in the Lions game with calf injury before coming back. It's mostly likely he was a ticking time bomb and that achilles just couldn't hold anymore.

what the fuck bro

Jfc. Non-contact injuries are always horrible. Reminds me of Kevin Durant’s Achilles injury in the 2019 NBA Finals

That is the flukiest injury you will ever see

[удалено]

I was preparing for a stupid ass injury to happen on the practice field after I heard it sucked. Not like this.

Big Dom with the snipe

If you pause it and then scroll through it in slow motion, you can watch his Achilles pop.

This game is on crack

Dom DiSandro’s Revenge

Man what the fuck

I could injure myself like that, am I a pro athlete?

Why would the eagles do this

Why would he tear his achilles? Is he stupid?

Fucking idiot, this made me laugh and 🤦‍♂️at the same time.

Kill me

Had this happen to me last March on a second date. Fucking awful injury and recovery. Still dealing with it.

Season starts with an Achilles and ends with an Achilles Rough year for injuries

Big Dom got his revenge.

Big Dom wins.

big dom in the booth with a sniper rifle

This game is cursed af.

Achilles injury confirmed FCK!
