Thoughts and prayers being sent to Cam.

NY Sports radio saying possible broken leg

Good thing they protected him from injury by trying to force him to be strictly a pocket passer.

All joking aside, though, I hope it's not serious and he can come back OK next season. Car crashes are some scary shit.

If it was Brady, it'd be "OK, so he's not dead - LOL, eat shit, Patriots," but I never had anything against Newton, so basically it just sucks.

It's terrible since he was coming off a good game. Hate to see that kind of misfortune happen to somebody.

Season ending I would guess. And they were still in the playoff hunt weren't they?

yea horrible record but so does the rest of the division , I mean Tampa sits at 2-11 and and is mathematically out of it only because of div record not win totals

pretty good article here on what a transverse injury is ... same as what Romo has and he is used as an example in the article http://fansided.com/2014/11/01/trans...cess-fracture/

A shame to hear. Thoughts and prayers go to him and his family and hope he recovers soon.

The transverse processes have no function, except when they break , it's very painful. Romo played a week after breaking one of his by using pain meds.
