It has to be a bad injury, and I would wonder if Alex may retire in the offseason. His leg was not rolled up on or hit, nor did he plant his foot "weird" like what usually comes with these injuries, but it just seems to be "wear and tear" from playing this year. Hard to imagine him making a whole season with this issue. This could be it for him here.

If he does I will not hold it against him. Its a miracle that he made it back. From a humane side of it I hope he does. I do not want to see him get hurt again. He has proved that he could come back from the injury so he has nothing left to prove
