Falcons safety Keanu Neal‘s career got off to a dreamlike start, but the past two seasons have been an absolute nightmare for the former Pro-Bowler.

Neal suffered an ACL injury during the 2018 season-opener, then an Achilles tear during Week 4 of 2019. As a guest on The Jim Rome Show, Neal talked about how difficult it was working back from one serious injury just to have another one early the following season.

“The rehab was hard, but, you know, I stuck through it and made it through, but then, obviously the Achilles last year, that really hit hard,” said Neal.
