Unfortunately for the New York Jets, following their Week 7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, they were hit with such an injury, it has hit fans right in the gut. Running back Bilal Powell suffered a neck injury that was much more than just missing a few weeks of action on the gridiron.
Not only was Powell placed on the Injured Reserve list, effectively ending his season, but he now needs surgery to correct this devastating injury. Powell injured a disc in his neck to the point where once he gets the surgery performed, it could be career-ending.
