Jevon Kearse endured quite an emotional ride after injuring his knee last September. Kearse was off to the best start of his career, recording 3 1/2 sacks in the first two games. But he sprained multiple ligaments in his left knee during Philadelphia's overtime loss to the New York Giants in Week 2.
"I was thinking I would come back soon," said Kearse, who got hurt in the extra period after the Eagles wasted a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter. "Then, I saw the doctor and found out I couldn't. I could barely watch the games."
His injury initially was thought to be career-threatening, but the damage turned out less severe. He still would miss a minimum of 12 weeks so Kearse was placed on injured reserve, ending his once-promising season.
