An NFL career can do a number on a player’s knee. Take former center LeCharles Bentley for example.
After four years with the New Orleans Saints, Bentley, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, was in his first training camp with the Cleveland Browns in 2006 when he tore his patellar tendon. He later contracted a staph infection during his rehab that required multiple surgeries and nearly necessitated amputation.
That serious medical situation ended his career, and Bentley gave us a glimpse of what his knee looks like today.
Oh, "it just tendonitis".
