Safety Duke Ihenacho couldn’t tell you what hit it was, or how exactly it happened, but as he went in for a tackle during the team’s season opener against the Dolphins, he felt something funny.
So, after the play, he asked teammates to look at his left wrist and got the same collective response.
“They were like ‘Yo, don’t look at it,’" Ihenacho said. “Then I looked at it and I was like ‘Oh wow.’ It was deformed. It was just out of place. My wrist was going a whole different way.”
The gravity of his situation didn’t hit until the next day, once Ihenacho had received an MRI and was told he would probably miss the rest of the season.
