New York Jets offensive lineman Cameron Clark missed all of 2021 because of a spinal-cord injury suffered in training camp, and now it will cause his football career to come to an end.
"Based on the advice of Dr. Andrew Hecht, a prominent orthopedic surgeon at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, Cameron will not be able to continue to play football for the New York Jets," Clark's agent, Alan Herman, told Rich Cimini of ESPN.
The 24-year-old was told he would risk paralysis if he continued to play football.
Clark was a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, but he never saw a regular-season snap in two years with the Jets.
