Artery damage is no joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonej Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 That was one of the worst leg injuries I have seen and ranks right up there with Tim Krumrie in the Super Bowl and Joe Theismann on the Monday Night game against the Giants.

bowlingtwig Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've since seen schefter post that thanks to quick work they did save his leg but his knee is basically jacked right now. Very long road to recovery. I did see someone else say he won't be ready to start 2018. I honestly didn't even think he could play again after seeing that. It would be miracle if he could continue to play. And that's if he even wants to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan2000 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Definitely thoughts and prayers with him and his family it was gruesome looking and turned out to be a very serious injury. Hope he makes a full recovery and doesn't suffer permanent damage. His career at least in Chicago is probably over, good guy, hard worker, very talented. Hate to see this happen. Wish him the best in recovery. Scary when you think of the possibility of losing a limb. Possibly the scariest Bears injury since Knox was folded in half.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thoughts and prayers with him. He's always been really good when he was on the field and I just hope he's able to have a normal life (after football) given all these injuries.

Connorbear Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thoughts and prayers go out to Zach. Given his age, I would say his career is probably over. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChileBear Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Thoughts and prayers go out to Zach. Given his age, I would say his career is probably over. Peace Guy worked his butt off every year to come back. Best wishes to him and I'll be praying for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Guy worked his butt off every year to come back. Best wishes to him and I'll be praying for him. Life is unfair and sometimes you just have to deal with it. He has been injury prone and this probably ends his career. To bad for such a good teammate and decent TE. He was always a hard worker and had a good attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 The injury gutted me. I felt like I did when I saw Theisman and when I saw Knox. Just a brutal injury. He's one of those guys who could be so much more if he could just stay healthy. It's very unfortunate, and I hope there are no lasting problems for him.

AZ54 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 My thoughts are with him and his family. The injuries he has dealt with throughout his career were all challenging yet he kept coming back in great shape and with a positive attitude. That really shows tremendous character and leadership. I thought the Bears would move on from him this year and go with a younger player in Brown but when you read the comments from his teammates it is understandable why coaches felt he needed to be on this team. Give him his TD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...aa-980957efe25a Looks like Zach is doing well. Hopefully soon we'll be hearing about other planned surgeries which would indicate he's progressing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
