Was Teddy Bridgewater In Danger Of Losing His Leg After Severe Knee Injury?
Share this: Teddy Bridgewater suffered a pretty brutal injury that will sideline him for the entire season, but judging by recent reports, it appears he actually got pretty lucky. The Minnesota Vikings quarterback completely tore his left ACL and dislocated his knee while suffering a non-contact injury at practice Tuesday. Bridgewater’s injury was so bad that practice was canceled, and an ambulance had to be called to take him away. Turns out it was a good thing that ambulance came quickly. According to injury expert Will Carroll, there was a chance Bridgewater could have lost his leg had he not received immediate treatment. Source confirms tibiofemoral dislocation, ruptured ACL for Bridgewater. "Trainers may have saved his leg and career by quick action." — Will Carroll (@injuryexpert) August

Mookie Betts Crushes 30th Homer, Joins Ted Williams In Elite Red Sox Company
Share this: BOSTON — Mookie Betts is in the midst of a dream season, and he doesn’t plan on waking up anytime soon. The Red Sox outfielder reached another milestone Monday night at Fenway Park in his very first at-bat against the Tampa Bay Rays. Betts hammered an 0-2 fastball from Rays starter Matt Andriese that deflected high off a sign atop the Green Monster in left field for a solo home run. It was the MVP candidate’s 30th long ball of the season, a remarkable feat for a 5-foot-9, 180-pound converted outfielder who entered 2016 with 23 homers over one and a half seasons. The blast, which traveled an estimated 402 feet, also put Betts in some pretty rare air. Mookie Betts has joined Ted
