DeAndre Hopkins Played Through Painful Torn Shoulder Ligament

CelebNSports247.com reports that DeAndre Hopkins is not only a beast catching the ball, but he is definitely one of the toughest after he revealed he suffered a gruesome injury during the wild-card loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

DeAndre Hopkins who is known to go HAM on the field revealed Saturday, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle:

I tore ligaments in my shoulder completely off the bone. I tried to play even though I had only one arm. We had something good going, and I know they needed me.

Despite his injury, he played in the entire 21-7 loss to the Colts, catching a modest five passes for 37 yards.

The Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins said Saturday he played with more pain last season than any time in his six-year career.

Despite playing with a nagging foot injury and suffering a serious shoulder injury in the playoff loss to Indianapolis, Hopkins caught 115 passes for 1,572 yards and 11 touchdowns, according to the Houston Chronicle.

It was a brutal season for Hopkins since he played through with a nagging foot injury during the 2018 season.

Hopkins said:

Last year was tough, not just physically but mentally. It’s the most banged up I’ve ever been playing football. I was dealing with serious injuries a lot of people would have sat down for. But we had a good team that depended on me, and I never gave a thought to not playing unless the doctors told me I couldn’t.

He proves that mind over matter really works.

Despite all the injuries, he earned himself a first-team All-Pro selection for the second straight year.
