During the third quarter of Super Bowl LIII, Patriots safety Patrick Chung suffered a broken forearm injury that knocked him out of the game.
Chung had surgery performed back on February 9th and shared video a day later providing an update on his recovery.
On Monday, Chung shared a photograph (WARNING Graphic) of his scar that coincidentally contained as many stitches as his jersey number.
“23 stitches. Coincidence??? I think not! Hahaha #keepbeingsavage is my new hash!!” Chung wrote below the photograph.
In the days following the Super Bowl, Chung shared a few optimistic postings to his Instagram, including himself in a sling postgame with his father.
Chung signed a two-year contract extension with the Patriots in March 2018 and is expected to be back in time for training camp next summer. 2019 will mark his 11th NFL season.
