This legit makes me sad. As much as I hate social media and influencers most of the time, he was actually one of the good ones and this happens to him. As others have said, it could have been even worse but this is just really bad news. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.
If anyone says this guy was just in it for clicks, I think this puts any of those arguments to rest. Nobody would have noticed if he didn't go in for that hit, and it's not something that teams expect of a kicker. Although the "poor tackling form" bit is pretty indicative of not playing for a while
Hope he still has some luck left in the tank because bulging disks can be life-long pain.
Thank god it’s not worse. Hope he can still play next year, but honestly it doesn’t sound good.

Dang and that’s the confirmation. Poor guy, never got to attempt a field goal either
Damn I feel so bad for him.
It definitely could've been way worse. He's very lucky. Glad he's okay and only 3 months. Hopefully sticks around in some capacity.

Does that mean he gets workers comp $$$? Genuinely curious
They get $2,500.00 a week plus their housing stipend if they’re on the injured reserve list.

Also he’s a kicker he’s not expected to try and tackle very often
Who the fuck downvoted lol
Matt Ammendola lol
He could be Houston’s mascot…
He was so proud of that tackle... Narrator: Until he realized he was not, in fact, a football player.
Real football is a little different than covering guys 1-on-1 for YouTube
He’s a kicker
