Patrick Courtney is finally on the field. It had been many months since his last injury, so he can’t wait. He lines up behind the quarterback and waits for his call.

He tries to get up, but his right leg would not support his weight as he collapses back to the ground. Courtney is devastated that he has another injury. Later, he…
