Video: Charles Gordon Breaks His Leg (ouch!)

http://www.sportaphile.com/2008/11/09/video-charles-gordon-breaks-his-leg-ouch/

Vikings kick returner Charles Gordon suffered a NASTY looking leg injury at the hands of Desmond Bishop just now. Bishop's weight comes down hard and catches Gordon's foot in an awkward position, which twisted his entire leg in a motion it wasn't designed to go. From the looks of this, Gordon's season is probably over.

    I hope he makes a full recovery. It would be a shame if his career - or worse, his well being - were put in jeopardy because of this.
