Thanks for beating me at fantasy once again, milestogo!

(31,807 posts)It was 2020 and S.F. was playing the Jets. Nick Bosa, Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, and Solomon Thomas all suffered leg injuries.
Then there's this:

They've been playing on that crap for three years? C'mon NFL ...
Fortunately, no 49er games are scheduled in N.Y. for 2023.

From 2007 until 2018, the playing surface used the Desso GrassMaster system, which has synthetic fibers woven into the traditional Kentucky bluegrass sod. In 2018, the Grassmaster surface was replaced with polyethylene-based SIS Grass. Even the new video boards, installed in 2004, have been influenced by the field's nickname, being called "Tundra Vision". These video displays measure more than 25 feet (7.6 m) high by 46 feet (14 m) wide.
An artificial lighting system, based on technology used in Dutch rose-growing greenhouses, was tested in 2010 and purchased for use in the 2011 season. It operates 24 hours a day from October to early December to extend the growing season for the field's grass. The system is also used in some soccer stadiums where shade from stands and partial roofs are a problem for the turf, not the cold and short growing season found in Green Bay.

(3,023 posts)I snapped mine while playing ultimate frisbee about 10-12 years ago. My fellow players heard it snap and saw me fall to the ground - the noise and my reaction made a few think I got shot.
If it's that, he's in much better shape than a torn achilles. There is no surgery for the plantaris.
up plantaris tendon and it said 8-12% of people dont even have them.

This is a very painful injury.

Luckily, it is "just" a ruptured Baker's Cyst.
Not a Roger's fan, but sorry to see his career end like that.
Pretty expensive hit for the Jets - all that guaranteed money...
