Bears quarterback Connor Shaw suffered a broken leg in Saturday’s preseason game, and he wasn’t happy about the hit that injured him.
Shaw took to Twitter and scolded Chiefs defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches, writing, “Injuries are a part of the game & I understand that. This should’ve been avoided. No need for that type of cheap BS!”
Shortly after tweeting that, Shaw deleted it. He did not explain why.
The hit from Nunez-Roches did come after Shaw had already thrown his pass, and Nunez-Roches seemed to unnecessarily jump into Shaw. Nunez-Roches certainly wasn’t trying to break Shaw’s leg (the hit was high and the injury happened as the two of them fell to the ground), but it was unnecessary.
