Earlier this offseason during OTA’s, we all saw what could happen during an NFL practice, albeit minus pads, whenever highly-touted Jaguars’ rookie edge rusher, Dante Fowler Jr. already began making plans to debut in 2016, as he went down for the upcoming season with a torn ACL.
Training camp is an entirely different animal, with helmets, pads and live contact and if one is seeking the latter, I highly recommend checking out the backs on ‘backers portion of Steelers’ camp, as it’s always a fan favorite. Each and every year, numerous players go down during this grueling segment of the NFL calendar, some for days or weeks, others for months or the entire season.
