Sean Weatherspoon out for season with torn Achilles

Weatherspoon, like Sean Lee, has had trouble staying healthy during his NFL career. Unlike Lee, he's in a contract year. Tough luck.

It's starting for the Falcons already...

Is there anything worse than ending a season before it even begins? Hope we don't have to deal with any big IR's this year (knocks on wood). Hopefully we got it out of our "system" last year.

Didn't Crabtree comeback after injuring his around the the same time last year?

Sometimes fans treat the label "injury prone" as if it were an inborn character flaw, so it's worth noting that Weatherspoon was considered impressively durable in college. Just lousy luck for the guy. Unless...hey, wait a second, Sean Spence has been plagued with injuries in the NFL too. It's the linebackers-named-Sean curse!

You can add the Colts Fili Dough Moala to this list, placed on IR today, torn Achilles!

I've personally seen two different guys tear their Achilles, it always looks like they slipped or something, no contact it just snaps and they fall down like a load of bricks! Tough injury, just freaky, no real way to avoid it!
