Brad Cottam's Injury

**jap1** · 12-29-2009, 07:06 PM

Has anyone heard anything more about Brad Cottam's injury. I heard he had a fractured vertebrae in the Cleveland game. As a doctor, when I hear fractured vertebrae that equals career ending injury. Has anyone heard any more details?

He has started to look like a good TE the last few weeks before his injury.

I heard the same thing. Justin Gage did the same thing. He is back on the field playing already.

I heard the surgery went well as well. I think I also heard he broke part of his neck but nothing that serious. Hopefuly hes back next season and plays well.
