On Thursday night, the Rams' Danny Amendola left the game early after suffering a separated SC joint when he tried to make a diving catch against the Cardinals. Since his collarbone did not break, Amendola will not require surgery. Lucky, right? Well, wait till you read what FOX's Jay Glazer revealed about the injury.
During a report on FOX's pregame show, Glazer explained that Amendola dislocated his clavicle, which actually popped in and could have threatened Amendola's trachea and aorta. The Rams' medical staff acted quickly, putting Amendola to sleep before popping the clavicle back into place and making sure it could not dislodge again.
Wow! Actually, saying "wow" probably doesn't do this story justice. Simply put, Amendola is one lucky guy.
