LAST EDITED ON 02-09-16 AT 10:14 AM (EST)I found this in another thread posted here at Blows, the pre-game vidcaps thread... so I think it's okay to post here. This is total speculation, but since it could be something that could potentially lead to removal from the game, I thought I should add it to this thread. We really need to find the date these pics were posted or when he had the surgery though.
This is a pic of Nick having surgery, presumably post game. He had a R knee Arthroscopic Meniscectomy. I can tell by noting the 2 arthroscopic pictures at the bottom left of the frame. The picture on the left is before, you can see his shredded meniscus, then on the right it's been shaved.
This injury certainly could have happened on the show. It's painful and could have caused him to want to be removed. It would have been very painful for him to squat....Or, it could have happened after the show at any time. So, this is food for thought.
