Needed Neck Fusion. Ever seen a more nothing thing happen on that play? Guy jumped to block pass wrenched his neck on the way down. Not saying its not real or he's soft. Just wow. Crazy how the human body is. Like Im sure things happened to him 20 times worse looking. That was nothing.

I tend to agree. It would have been tricky to pick up his option as it was.

professional athletes in their prime have thrown their backs out reaching for an item in the backseat.
The neck and back don’t give a crap, they are fragile…for the athletes with way too much mass for their frame I’m actually surprised they aren’t more prevalent. Jones likely had a knee or both that weren’t prepared for turf contact, happens when your in the air and become off balance.
Definitely wouldn’t call him soft, surely he ain’t faking an injury that has been a career ender for some athletes. He had a serious surgery linking two vertebrae back together and by all reports is progressing well (allegedly ready for training camp). You don’t fake that
IT WAS REAL…to even think he would try to fake an injury like that and go through fusion surgery would simply be a ridiculous thought.
Will he be the same? Remains to be seen
Can he reach his ceiling? Gonna be harder now
Not like he hasn’t seen his share of challenges already. This one will be a big challenge though.

I clearly stated he isn't soft. Just that it was a real freak injury. If you think about pro wrestling, someting similar must happen all the time in terms of getting your neck drenched.
