Former Patriot Tebucky Jones Plans to Sue Team Doctors

Tebucky Jones brings back memories of the old-school Patriots. He was more than just a fun name to say; he was an electrifying, game-changing defensive player, before there was Asante Samuel, before there was Ellis Hobbs.

But his career was derailed by a 2006 preseason knee injury -- and now, according to the Boston Herald, Jones is blaming Patriots physician Thomas J. Gill for misdiagnosing him and ruining his career.

May not be a big story, but it reminded me of this

Huh. Hard to know if the two events (Ted Johnson/Tebucky) are a product of the teams approach to injury or just a random coincidence. Either way, how could the doctors not tell him about an ACL tear? If Tebucky Jones is telling the truth, he should get a nice monetary settlement from them.

He claims that Gill and fellow physician Bertram Zarins did not inform him about a severe tear to his knee during a preseason matchup against the Redskins.
