Injuries are a part of football. Unfortunately, some injuries are worse than others.

Buffalo Bills guard Eric Wood endured one of those too-gruesome-for-replay moments against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Wood suffered a compound fracture of his left tibia and fibula and will miss the rest of the season.

The injury was reminiscent of Joe Theismann‘s and Napoleon McCallum‘s infamous broken-leg injuries. CBS wouldn’t show the replay of Wood’s injury, but thanks to the Internet, you can see it here.
