History

Historical Context

Bo Jackson’s career-ending left-hip injury in the Raiders’ Jan 13, 1991 playoff win over the Bengals caused avascular necrosis and ended a four-year NFL run in which he amassed 2,782 rushing yards. Decades later, Tyreek Hill’s torn ACL on Sep 29, 2025 led the Miami Dolphins to cut him in Feb 2026. Both cases underscore how serious injuries have repeatedly forced NFL teams to rethink contract guarantees.
