Offensive Tackle

Brady Christensen

No. 70 · 6th season

Brady Christensen tore his Achilles. Now he says he's ready.

A torn Achilles is one of the harder things a body can go through — the kind of injury that has a way of making people quietly wonder if the comeback is really coming. Brady Christensen is not quietly wondering anymore.

Christensen is a veteran offensive lineman, the kind of player whose whole job is to hold the line under pressure. The Achilles tear put that job on hold. What comes after an injury like that is months of grinding work most people never see — physical therapy, setbacks, a return to practice that feels nothing like it used to, and eventually, if things go right, a clearance.

Things went right. Christensen says he's been cleared to return to football. He's a free agent, which means no team has his name on a contract yet — so this clearance is less a door opening and more a hand raised. He's available. He's healthy. Someone has to decide he's worth the call.

That's the question hanging over this: the hard part is done, but the next part isn't guaranteed. There's a version of this story where the phone rings. There's another version where it doesn't. Right now, Christensen has done what he can do.
