Patriots add another LB; net number of ACL's unchanged

[Urgent]

Patriots signed LB Darius Fleming.

You may not believe this, but he tore one ACL in his rookie mini-camp and another one in his second mini-camp.

Wow! What are the chances of the Patriots signing a player with torn ACL's? I mean, not one, but both!

Camp competition with a good upside if he can ever get healthy, and that's a big if. No harm bringing him in though.

Tom Brady has 22703 yards and 162 TD's since he tore his ACL six years ago its not a career ending injury anymore

Yes, but his rushing yards per game and tackle factor have dropped precipitously since then.

OP, you do know ACLs are replaced after they are torn right? Players aren't running around playing with no ACLs...
