Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Brian Price Completes Comeback from Pelvic Fracture

TAMPA When Raheem Morris first learned the extent of Brian Price's injury, optimism was not the first thing that came to mind.

.

"I've never known anyone to get their hamstrings ripped from their (butt) and then come back and play," the Bucs coach said of the defensive tackle, his 2010 second-round draft pick. "You can probably find the actual medical term, but that's what it was. You look at the X-ray and it's really something."

.

Then, Morris looked for something else: hope.

.

"I had one person to rely on, and that was (team trainer) Todd (Torescelli)," Morris said. "He said, 'Look, this guy's going to come back. I know we've never seen this before, but I'm telling you, he will.'"

.

And now, he has.

.

Price is expected to make his 2011 debut in Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins, completing the comeback from one of the more stomach-turning football injuries you'll ever encounter.

.

Price underwent surgery to repair a fractured pelvis and the associated hamstring issues, with both muscles tearing away from the ischial tuberosity, the portion of the pelvic bone to which they are connected. The procedure required the placement of two screws to reattach the muscles.

.

It's not something Morris or anyone on the Bucs staff had ever been associated with.

.

For the average person, the injury would be troublesome and painful, experts say. For a football player, it's a monumental hurdle, one Price seems to have finally cleared.

.

"The pelvic fracture combined with the hamstring issue makes this a pretty rare injury," said Dr. Jeffrey Spang, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. "It's really like having two major injuries."

.

Injuries that are practically unheard of in the NFL.

.

"I fix about one of those per year," said Dr. John Xerogeanes, chief of sports medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. "And I've never had one in a high-performance athlete."

.

Price downplays the magnitude of what he has overcome, but there's no masking his eagerness.

.

"I'm looking forward to having fun and getting out there with my defensive line," he said. "I'm real excited."
