Paris, France – Michigan offensive lineman Grant Newsome remains optimistic he will return to football from the devastating knee injury he suffered during the 2016 season, but there is a lingering physical issue that’s holding up his return.
Had it not been for quick recognition by the Michigan medical staff, Newsome nearly lost his leg. A 30-minute window separated him from that fate. Newsome has described it as his leg was “dying.”
He spent 38 days in the hospital, including the first 10 in intensive care, and had six surgeries in 40 days.
Newsome is with his teammates in Paris and is moving well.
