Former Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth just won a playoff game with the Rams — and he did it not too far removed from suffering a serious leg injury.
Whitworth, 39, tore his MCL/PCL in mid-November but returned ahead of schedule and started in this past weekend’s playoff win over Seattle.
Why bring this up? Rams team doctor Neal ElAttrache and his team helped Whitworth recover and also performed the reconstructive surgery on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Before Burrow’s surgery, Whitworth even commented that the Bengals quarterback was in great hands with such a strong team of doctors.
Funnily enough, ElAttrache himself then turned around and offered a positive review of Burrow’s operation and timeline.
Fast forward to this week, Whitworth is contending for a Super Bowl and Burrow has said he expected to be ready for Week 1
Andrew Whitworth’s quick return, playoff win could be good sign for Joe Burrow
