Fantastic news. The advances in medicine certainly are incredible in diagnosis and rehabilitation. What a relief for him and his family.

[Mongoose]

Great news, important reminder to hug your loved ones

[lifetimelion]

Praise God! Thanks for the update Jack. Get well for your family. I’ll continue praying for all of you.

Somewhat unusual that lower extremities are spared with upper extremities primarily affected. Central Cord Syndrome is the most likely scenario. The good news is, (depending on the severity), that Jack will show a pretty strong recovery, though not one allowing him to return to the NFL.

[StormGuyNovi]

This is excellent news. I don’t care about anything outside of Jack being able to live a normal life with his wife and child. That is the only part important to me.

[Lionpile]

Awesome. So happy for Jack and his family.

Lower body at 100% and time to kill while recovering? Time to make babies!!

The comments about his upper body remind me of Kevin Everett, former TE of the Bills who was originally believed to be a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.

He regained his ability to walk, but it took him months to relearn some fine motor skills such as brushing his teeth and combing his hair.
He apparently still has some numbness in his hands even though he is able to use them for daily tasks.

This is certainly not a comparison though. Just an example of how the recovery process had gone for another person with a traumatic spine injury.

My fiancé suffered a stroke at 25, she’s made a full recovery besides a few memory lapses from time to time, which she LOVES using as an excuse when convenient but she had to re-learn everything, walking, talking, writing… So it’s very possible for him to return to normal, he’s young and healthy

[Weaselpuppy]

Thank God. Let’s keep it going in that positive direction

[CuriousHusker]

@TruckinMack

that Jack will show a pretty strong recovery

[BigNatty]

Baaaaad MF’r, right there boys. Not just physically.

This guy is spiritually and psychologically tough

I love this guy, and I truthfully have always believed in him

Never for one second did I buy into what the doctor said, and I assumed Jack would approach it the same way I did

This cat’s been working with Jack Fox every day during football season as well!!!

Love you, brother Jack… Keep up the good work there big boy

[Spartansd]

This is beyond great news

I agree that is sounds odd that legs are good and arms are not 100%. But this is fantastic news.

He sounds well in his way to recovery and ability to move and function in life.

[BigNatty]

Nerves can get contusions. Contusions heal.

As the contusion heals, you regain use of the body parts

I’m no scientist

But does play a factor into the negative thinking’s & anxiety she goes through???

[JadedLionsFan]

Awesome news!

Now hopefully he can get the rest of the way home and enjoy his life with his family.

Lot of prayers answered

[TouchdownMyPants]

That was preexisting (since she was about 20)… It definitely could be a neurological issue, she’s epileptic as well and prone to a seizure every now and then. She’s a whole ball of fun!

[socko]

Great news. Makes me want to jog around the neighborhood naked.

Key Types of Neck Injuries or Conditions

• Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve):

  • What it is: Compression or inflammation of an individual nerve root as it exits the cervical spine (neck).

  • Why it fits: It frequently causes numbness, tingling (“pins and needles”), weakness, or sharp pain radiating down the shoulders, arms, or fingers, while leaving the lower body and legs completely normal because those lower-traveling nerve tracts aren’t involved. [1, 2, 3]

• Cervical Disc Herniation or Bulge:

  • What it is: A slipped or ruptured disc in the neck presses against local nerve roots or central spinal cord fibers.

  • Why it fits: Depending on which disc is affected (such as C5–C6 or C6–C7), it can localize sensory loss or weakness strictly to the upper limbs and hands. [1, 2, 3]

• Central Cord Syndrome (Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury):

  • What it is: A specific type of incomplete spinal cord damage—often caused by a hyperextension injury in the neck (like a fall or car accident), particularly in older adults or those with spinal stenosis.

  • Why it fits: It characteristically causes more severe weakness or sensory loss in the upper extremities (arms and hands) than in the lower extremities (legs), because the nerve fibers serving the arms are located more centrally in the spinal cord pathway.
