I'm hearing that Marcus Lattimore's injury was a broken femur, plus all four knee ligaments torn. Gruesome, and a real pity for a kid that was not only a superb athlete, but apparently someone whom even his opponents really like and respect.

(17,087 posts)It looks pretty bad. I remember when Robert Edwards blew out his knee they almost had to amputate. He came back eventually, and even had some success in the CFL, but it was never the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Edwards_(running_back)
