Report: Eagles' Peters ruptures Achilles again
Injury to delay recovery by about 3 weeks
Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jason Peters, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, ruptured his Achillies tendon a second time, CSNPhilly.com reported Monday.
According to the account, Peters ruptured his Achilles tendon again after the Roll-A-Bout he was using malfunctioned while he was moving through his kitchen. The device is basically crutches on wheels, and when it broke, Peters fell and re-injured his Achilles.
Peters initially ruptured his Achilles on March 27.
The second rupture required a second surgery and recovery will be delayed about three weeks.
Peters plans to sue the manufacturer, according to CSNPhilly.com.
Peters was hoping to return during the 2012 season, but the second injury puts his career in jeopardy. Peters, 30, weighs well over 300 pounds.
