GLENDALE, Ariz. — It’s the kind of scenario that each person who faces it might handle differently.
For Will Dissly, there was no reason to try to pretend that this wasn’t where the worst injury of his football career had occurred, one that gave him a few brief moments of wondering if he’d ever play again.
Instead, as he walked on to the field at State Farm Stadium almost a year to the day from when he had torn the patellar tendon in his right knee — he suffered the injury on Sept. 30, 2018 — Dissly decided to meet it head on.
