yep.

He severed an artery...A few more minutes, and the blood supply would have been interrupted to where the leg became gangrenous.
I remember hearing that.
Which reminds me of Shaun Linvingston. He was also close to having his leg amputated.


Edwards's story has been well documented and received more national exposure as his exploits increased. The former first-round draft choice of the New England Patriots suffered a serious knee injury in 1999 and came within minutes of having a leg amputated. Doctors advised him he wouldn't walk without the use of a cane, let alone play football again.
