has anyone ever played a whole game of football in high school with a broken bone?

Question

im a linebacker and i played a whole game with a broken rib im not trying to be cocky im just wondering

Answer 1

cjhype is right, it is not uncommon for highschools to go entire games with broken bones and not even know it. Usually toes, fingers, maybe a wrist. A broken rib seems a little unreal maybe fractured broken would make it unbearable to breathe and likely you wouldnt be able to take the slightest tap without falling over in pain from an actual "broken" rib. Fractures are very common and people play with them on a consistent basis.

Answer 2

First game of my varsity year, I broke my nose along with my face mask from a crack back block while playing OLB. Played the rest of the game.
Second game got my hand caught between two helmets (ouch) broke my metacarpal. I had to use my other hand for three point stance.
Homecoming game I took a helmet to my lumbar curve. I woke up in the hospital with no feeling in my legs. I did catch the football though. Several minor surgeries later, I was okay and on my way to rehab.

Football is a tough sport but I have known many men that have played for years and never broken anything.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter what level of football you play, you are gonna end up breaking something and you'd better play through it unless it's an ankle or something. Rocky Calmus at Oklahoma a few years ago played an entire season with a broken wrist and a broken bone in his leg. Ronnie Lott had the team doc's cut off half his finger.

Answer 4

Do double duty, son.

I'm a linebacker and fullback due to my school being a 1A. I played with a broken rib as well, also had two broken fingers.

Wasn't fun, but still had a good game.

Answer 5

I played Middle Linebacker also. Broke my hand on the second play of the game and played the entire game, even got a int. no chit. It was the last game of the year and I played in the Playoffs with a soft cast.

Answer 6

I fractured my Tibia(Shin Bone) during the game and played out the rest of the game. It hurt alot but I didn't know it was broken until the next day. I have also played with minor concussions, strained muscles, and a dislocated elbow. Football is a hardcore game.

Answer 7

I once played an entire game of Madden 2002 with a broken thumb. I'm not trying to be cocky, I'm just saying.

Answer 8

I am a MLB and play college ball and I played with countless injuries, I ve played with a broken nose, broken fingers and a broken toe. One game I broke my finger on the opening kickoff on the kickers helmet and never missed a down. I also had a team mate break his wrist and play every down so its not that uncommon. I forgot the players name but their was a professional player in the 60's or 70's who broke his finger so bad that he had part of it amputated and still played after the surgery was complete. So playing with certain injuries in possible but their are risk involved. If you do decide to play with an injury be aware that their are dangers involved you can make the injury worse so be careful and enjoy yourself.

Answer 9

the DE on my high school team played several games with a broken wrist, he did wear a club though

i played a game with a broken finger, since i did play a DB it did not matter as much because i don't handle the ball, altough it did bother me while trying to cover.

Answer 10

i played with a broken collar bone.. thought it was just bruised, had to hit with the other side. i was also a linebacker. live and die for the game.
