New York Giants (and ex-Carolina Panthers) kicker Graham Gano told Dan Duggan of The Athletic that Panthers doctors and trainers misdiagnosed an injury that cost him the entire 2019 season.
Gano told Duggan he fractured his femur just above his left knee. However, the 34-year-old said that Panthers medical staffers initially said he had suffered less severe injuries.
"I was told initially it was tendinitis and a bone bruise and it was actually a lot more than that, which we knew for a while," Gano said. "I was treating it and I came back and had the same injury—actually worse than before.
