Get well Cam!

 

Did he really break both legs?

 

Sad. He helped me squeak into my fantasy football playoffs. Now I'm screwed. But seriously hope Cam is okay and makes a speedy recovery.

Next man up, JOHNNY FOOTBALL. smdh

 

I don't think so. I saw that a Carolina Panthers news site tweeted something about but I think they fell for a fake tweet. He was sitting up and smiling after the accident so thats a good sign.

Should have had a roll bar. Did he learn nothing from the fall guy?

Two traverse fractures in his lower back, not sure what that means.

 

J.R. with the more accurate post. Thanks

 

Not sure what it is either but same/similar thing Romo had with his back earlier this year.

Spoiler

 

Oh well, he will probably out for the year, its Romo whos Superman.

 

Reported that this was the other driver.

Spoiler

 

Another failed drive by Cam.
