OTTAWA — The Ottawa REDBLACKS announced on Monday that quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has ruptured his left Achilles tendon. The veteran pivot will require surgery and will be out for the remainder of the 2023 season.
I am lost for words, Just heart broken for Masoli, I watched the game and felt the air leave my lungs when he went down. Get healthy and I wish you and your family nothing but the best in what ever you decide in the future with your career. Take care man.
I recall a similar situation a few years ago with Darian Durant. Injured his elbow in the Labour day classic, missed the rest of the season, only to rupture is Achilles in the first game of the next season.
I’ve always liked Masoli - I am so sorry to hear about him being out for the rest of the season. It must be tough on any player to be out of action more than what they have been on it. Get better soon Jeremiah.
You’re probably right. Nice guy & maybe time to hang them up. Missed 32 games the past 3 years. Sad for Ottawa fans. They haven’t had too many breaks the past few seasons & have supported the team well. Have to see who they can bring in. Dane Evans would be an obvious target but can’t see that happening.
Brutal indeed. Wouldn’t blame him if he packed it in, but he doesn’t come across as a guy who would.
I won’t be at all surprised to see him back next year.
The question is: how many times is he going to put his body through the wringer of pro football? He needs quality of life after his career is over. Nothing is worth putting your long-term health at risk.
Losing 2 quarterbacks for the season is really tough, especially if Nick Arbuckle is the only one left. It will be a tough year for Redblack fans. Best wishes for a full recovery and we hope to see Jeremiah next year.
It makes you wonder if he was trying not to put a lot of weight or pressure on his injured knee but then that put a strain on the achilles.
I don’t know which is worse to recover from, the achilles or the knee
