Get well soon!

Sometimes NFL players decide to play through pain.

But what Tampa Bay Buccaneers right guard Alex Cappa did Sunday in a 31-24 loss against the New Orleans Saints was remarkable.

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians told reporters on Monday that Cappa suffered a broken left arm but did not miss a snap after sustaining the injury in the second quarter.

Heartwarming story. Almost as heartwarming as crawling out of a flipped over MRAP hit by an IED with 3 broken ribs, crushed clavicle and an arm broken completely in half.If someone punches him in the face for crying about it I might have some empathy.

So if your arm is broken you can handle Rankins/Brown/Onymata with one arm and one hand for 2+ Qtrs.

Nah. We saw with our own eyeballs how possible that is.

I wonder if they use the word broken when it really should be fractured?

It was probably the least painful thing on his body. I mean, if you play in the NFL, you are a tough guy. Even if you wear big sun hats and scarfs around your head and neck.

Well fracture then. There is quite a difference between the two in regards to playing with it.

I thought the same thing. I finished my rugby match with a broken arm and it hurt so much I finally left the social to go get x-rays. I wound up cutting off the cast three weeks later because my team needed me to play when a couple of our players went down. So, yes it can be done if you've got a high tolerance for pain.

You beast!!

I once tore ligaments in my shoulder and hid it from my Coach, as it was the last 2 games I'd ever play at the under 18 level and I wanted to savour the moments with team.

Very first play the next game after the injury, the FB came clear through the line and I was playing FS. I stopped him but couldn't feel my arm for about 2-3 minutes after lol
