Sad news; Cam McCormick battle head injury , announce resignation and departure leaving……

There are few injuries in sports as grueling and frightening as a torn Achilles tendon. It’s the strongest tendon in the body and vital in the ability to walk, run and jump. Tearing it is not only a devastating, season-ending injury, it typically takes a full calendar year to recover. Some athletes are never the same as they were before.

So when then-Oregon tight end Cam McCormick tore his right Achilles tendon in 2021 during a game at Ohio State, one can imagine the disappointment and uncertainty he faced. But while those emotions appeared immediately following injury, he wasn’t so worried when he found out it was his Achilles.

“When I figured out what it was, it was the best-case scenario for that injury,” McCormick told USA TODAY Sports. “That injury was one of the easiest ones I’ve had to kind of go through because it was so simple.”
