According to Vaughn McClure from the Chicago Tribune, Dusty Dvoracek, nose tackle for the Chicago Bears, was injured during training camp and will be having an MRI to look at just how bad the injury is. During the game against the Giants last week, Dvoracek was injured and taken out of the game.
It looks like he wasn't fine. Now, Brad Briggs of the Sun Times is reporting that Dvoracek will probably be sidelined for the whole season. Briggs says that the injury is a torn ACL in his right knee, something he's suffered from in the past as well.
No fans of the Bears will take this news well. Aside from his valuable role with the team, Dvoracek has had an injury-riddled career and has never once played a full season in Chicago. Dating back to his rookie campaign in 2006, he was injured before the season and missed the entire year.
He played one game in 2007, until he went down for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. Last season, 2008, he played 12 games and performed very well until he suffered from torn biceps.
This season's injury maybe a career ending injury, because he has torn his ACL in his right knee twice. I really hope that's not the case, as I really respect Dusty as a player and have always had high hopes for him.
The former third round pick is on his last year of his contract. I don't know if the Bears will want an injury prone player like Dusty on the team, you can't count on him.
This could turn into another Mike Brown situation. It's a shame this happens to such a good player, who always gives a 100% effort.
As for what happens from here, it looks like Anthony Adams and Marcus Harrison will split reps at the nose tackle position, and Matt Toeanina will fill Dusty's shoes.
