TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive end Noah Spence said he dislocated his shoulder in Sunday’s 17-16 win over the Carolina Panthers and popped it back into place himself so he could continue playing.
“It dislocated again,” said the former second-round draft pick. “My arm popped out and I put it back in.”
Spence suffered a dislocated shoulder and a partially torn labrum in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos and continued playing through it, not missing a single game. The injury has required him to wear a neoprene harness designed to keep it in place, but those braces can't prevent everything.
