Antonio Brown’s career ending injury
If you play Madden and play the role of Antonio Brown, you’ll quickly see that he’s the best wide receiver in the game. But before you get too excited, let’s talk about how this injury actually affected his career. The NFL has banned the helmet that Brown prefers, causing terrible frostbite on his feet. So, what happens if you get frostbite while playing Madden?
In addition to Antonio Brown’s recent career-ending injury, there’s another story surrounding the wideout’s alleged injury. In a statement released by the wideout’s attorney, he claims that he’s already discussed the injury with the Buccaneers’ head coach, Bruce Arians. In fact, he supposedly discussed the ankle injury with Arians for a week before the game. But none of his teammates were aware of this, he claimed.
Ray Lewis’ wrist injury
For those of you who play NFL games, you might have been shocked to find out that Ray Lewis has suffered a career-ending injury. The feared defensive lineman played for the Baltimore Ravens for seven seasons. He led the defense to a Super Bowl win in 2000. His statistics reflected his incredible skill and dedication. Ray Lewis had more than one hundred solo tackles, sacks, and interceptions, and set numerous records for defensive performance.
The first defensive player to grace the cover of a Madden game was Ray Lewis. The former NFL star broke his wrist in 2004, and missed the rest of the season due to his wrist injury. He went on to miss ten games of the 2005 season and only finished his career with zero interceptions. Shaun Alexander was unstoppable during the 2005 season, leading the NFL in yardage and touchdowns. Unfortunately, he tore his foot two years later and is no longer playing in the NFL.
Drew Brees’ shoulder injury
Considering that the San Diego Chargers haven’t won a Super Bowl since 2011, you may be wondering if Drew Brees’ shoulder injury is indeed a career-ending injury. Fortunately, the quarterback has plenty of history to make in the NFL before he suffered a devastating injury. After all, his shoulder injury happened during the middle of a season, which is hardly unusual for a starting quarterback.
The NFL’s Week 12 and Week 10 leaderboards are now live on ESPN, and Drew Brees’ shoulder injury is included in both. The Saints quarterback surpassed the late Warren Moon for the fifth most career passing yards in NFL history. The NFL also has playoffs and the Super Bowl, so the game itself is more realistic than ever. But, if you’re wondering how Drew Brees is doing, here’s how you can be sure.
Ray Lewis’ appearance on the cover of Madden NFL 2005
Electronic Arts have confirmed that the cover of Madden NFL 2005 will feature linebacker Ray Lewis. Lewis is no stranger to the video game industry, having appeared in numerous EA NFL press events and commercials. Although his slew of interceptions has been questioned, his overall numbers are still impressive, and it’s easy to see why he was selected for the cover. Ray Lewis was the best defensive player in the NFL during the 2003 season, and he’s likely to be on the cover of Madden NFL 2005.
The cover also features Richard Sherman, who was a part of the Legion of Boom while playing for the Seattle Seahawks. After being injured for much of the season, Young was released from the starting job. The San Diego Chargers’ Luis Castillo, meanwhile, made his first appearance on the cover of Madden NFL 2005. He was a big hit as a rookie, but has since faded from the limelight.
Bernie Sanders’ ankle injury
Despite missing the last two games of the regular season due to an ankle injury, Sanders managed to collect 39 tackles and an interception over his last six games. In addition, Sanders played well in the postseason, but his season was cut short by a knee injury against the San Diego Chargers in the wild card playoff game. In addition, Sanders only started two games in 2009, recording six tackles while on injured reserve.
According to Rap Sheet, Miles Sanders suffered an ankle injury in the Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which ended his season. While the x-rays were negative, he will need to go through more tests with the Eagles’ medical staff to determine the severity of his injury and how long he’ll miss. If Sanders is out for the season, his career may end in Madden.
