Nowadays, one ACL tear doesn't mean career ender. He'll be back.

Wow. Josh Baker gone. What a cruel game. You get hurt and now you do not get a paycheck.

He was waived as injured, meaning as long as he clears he comes back to the Jets and goes on IR.

I know if he clears waiver he is here on IR. But does that qualify a player for a paycheck ?

im not a doctor but that looked like more than an ACL tear. It was downright nasty.

He gets a settlement. (Unless the new CBA is different) the rule is they can't waive a guy unless he's healthy. For Baker to get waived today means they reached an injury settlement.

Looked like it could have been multiple ligaments and or a fracture. That was ugly and it was obvious he was n trouble.

You saw him get hit in his knee. That doesn't tell you actual damage.
