Lions LB Stephon Tulloch tore his ACL celebrating a sack; Out for the year
Sometimes players are injured trying to make plays, but sometimes Karma comes into play. Especially when celebrating. Yesterday, Stephen Tulloch sacked Aaron Rodgers, and jumped up to do the discount double check. The famous move made by Aaron Rodgers after he throws a touchdown. Unfortunately it ended with a torn ACL for Tulloch. Tulloch had appeared in 131 consecutive games without an injury.
“Unfortunately, I got up in celebration and it happened,” Tulloch said, per MLive.com. “But I ain’t embarrassed by nothing. We all celebrate when we make a play.”
Tulloch will be placed on the I/R.
Stephen Tulloch injured his knee. Will need surgery. Will be on IR. ACL. #Lions
