San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White has opened up about the difficult recovery from a gunshot wound to his right ankle.
White was shot during an altercation at a San Francisco nightclub in the early hours after NFL Super Bowl 60. The injury fractured his talus bone and required surgery, with doctors inserting two screws into his ankle.
"It's different because it's trauma instead of just, like, breaking an ankle with a sports-related injury," White said, via The Athletic. "When you hurt yourself in football, there's a protocol for **** near everything."
Then he said, "Football players don't just get shot every day," while mentioning, "I mean, I guess they do on this team," referring to the incident involving Ricky Pearsall.
