Video looked like an ACL and I hate it for him... just shows how quick -ish can change. Day 1 of rookie camp, the "best D player on the team" tears an ACL and is done for a year.....

Sucks

Ugh, now just imagine if Atlanta had traded up to get him!

Fowler will be fine and a productive pro. I'm glad the ACL happened to JAX and not ATL.

Yep, just like Weatherspoon....watch him stay healthy and become a Pro-bowler now in Arizona...smh
On the flipside though, maybe Adrian Clayborn can do the same for us!

An interview yesterday between Dimitroff and Pro Football talk, he said we were real close to doin that.

ACLs are not the career ender that they used to be, but I'm still glad he is in JAX; at least for 2015.

Right, but he will lose something....unless he's superhuman like Adrian Peterson...lol
