Video: Eagles FB Leonard Weaver Gruesome Knee Injury

This is not for people with a weak stomach.
I only watched it once and that was enough. We can only hope for the best for Weaver and it isn’t a career ending type of injury.
Players were dropping left and right in the Eagles and Packers game and the NFL wants to expand to 18 games season?
I think people forget how vicious, violent and brutal the NFL is.
Keep it at 16 weeks for the safety of the players.
*UPDATE*
The Eagles have confirmed that Weaver has a torn ACL and is done for the season.
All this talk about the fans want more meaningful football is nonsense. The last thing I want to see is an 18-game schedule and more serious injury. I do not take for granted how violent and unforgiving the game of football can be. I like Weaver as a player. He can block, tote the rock a little bit and catch the ball.
its hard enough to maintain and win a 14 football season…. let alone a 16 week plus 2 playoff games
