Major Loss

The DFW Xpress take a major loss. The Xpress were notified Tuesday 2/2/10 that LineBacker Jody Linville will be lost for the season with a torn ACL/MCL. What the coaching staff thought was a minor injury to the Starting Linebacker turned out to be a major blow to the Defense. During practice on 1/27/10 the offense and defense were having and inter squad scrimmage as Mr. Linville came in to assist on a tackle his leg was rolled up on. He walked back and fourth and said the knee did not feel right but their was no indication that the ligaments had been torn. A few days later the MRI revealed that both ligaments had been torn and that Mr. Linville would need surgery to repair the ligaments in his left knee, that will take 6-9 months of rehab. Mr. Linville vowed that he would be back for the 2011 season.
