Today we see Packers guard Jerry Kramer leaving a game on the road because of what appears to be some sort of injury to his left hand/arm. During his career, Kramer had a few major injuries. Among these were surgery to remove sizable wood fragments embedded in his abdomen from a teenage accident, and a badly injured ankle suffered in 1961. In all, Kramer played in 129 regular season games; he also had 22 surgeries in 11 seasons, including a colostomy, which he described as “a horror movie that hasn't been made yet.” Despite these setbacks, Kramer was selected as an All-Pro five times (1960, 1962, 1963, 1966, and 1967).
