Former Terps standout and current Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson is done for the season after breaking his thigh bone yesterday against the Cardinals. Good God!

Unfortunately for E.J., this injury report doesn’t start with the phrase “X-rays have revealed.”  Not a lot of ambiguity on this one. That thing BROKE, motherfucker.  It busted like a Mexican prophylactic.  I don’t know why I’m being so vile.  Maybe it’s to cover up the utterly unmasculine revulsion I experienced upon watching the Thiesmannesque replay, during which Henderson’s leg gained an extra joint and proceeded to whirl over his body like a helicopter blade.  GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hope E.J. heals from this and can eventually return to the league.  Oddly, the gruesome nature of the injury may actually benefit him in the long run, as it’s clear that was a pretty, uh, clean break, which can be easier to repair than a more jagged fracture.  On the other hand, I am not a medical doctor. 

The Vikings also are undoutedly hoping for a return at some point.  E.J. led the league’s ninth-ranked defense with 63 tackles.

For those who haven’t seen it or like this kind of thing (not that the Internet harbors that type of deviance), check it out below.  I think it’s fair to say you’ve been warned.
