    Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola's injury Thursday night was actually life threatening, Jay Glazer of FOXSports reports.

    Normally with a dislocation, the clavicle pops outward but in this instance it popped inward toward the aorta and trachea.

    They put him to sleep and popped the clavicle back in place and then pushed it to see if it would pop out again.

    The doctors said they have never seen this injury in the NFL, only in near fatal car accidents.

    I guess that was lucky.

    Not a concussion, so the NFL won't care.

    Scary crap, though :icon_eek:

    Yeah really, no outcry for shoulder injuries. The NFL and their cronie lawyers are safe on this one.
