The New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions faced off in a thrilling matchup on Sunday, but the game had an unfortunate consequence for one of the chain crew members. During the game, the chain crew member suffered a knee dislocation after a collision with another member of the crew.
The chain crew is responsible for managing the down markers and yardage chains during football games. The crew is typically made up of four members who line up on the sideline and move the chains when needed. During the Saints-Lions game, one of the members of the chain crew collided with another member, resulting in a knee dislocation.
The injured chain crew member was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the member was released from the hospital shortly after. The incident did not affect the game in any way, as the chain crew was able to continue their duties without any disruption.
This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of how important it is for chain crew members to be aware of their surroundings and take proper safety precautions. Chain crew members should always be aware of their surroundings and take extra care when moving the chains. Additionally, they should always wear appropriate safety gear such as helmets and knee pads to protect themselves from potential injuries.
Injuries like this are rare, but they can happen if proper safety precautions are not taken. The Saints and Lions organizations are wishing the injured chain crew member a speedy recovery and hope that this incident serves as a reminder to everyone involved in football games to take proper safety precautions.
