Because there is artery damage, this isn’t just a season saving surgery, it isn’t just a career saving surgery – this is a leg saving procedure.

Injuries like this can also threaten life, and should highlight the incredible care players receive on field.
Send all positive thoughts and prayers Zach’s way.
Bear Down.
