Kurt Warner has not appeared in an NFL game since 2009, but six years off from football didn’t stop him from breaking his jaw.
Warner revealed on Twitter Friday that he recently took an elbow to the face and suffered a broken jaw. He didn’t go into specifics about how the injury happened:
Just placed myself on IR – took an elbow 2 jaw & broke in a couple places!!! @WarnerBrenda wondering if this could finally stop me? #NevaEva

A few minutes later, Warner’s wife Brenda shared some nasty photos on Twitter that showed the damage. In addition to breaking his jaw in multiple places, Warner also had his teeth separated.
My hubs @kurt13warner just broke his jaw. The break separated his teeth! Now I get to take good care of him…still pic.twitter.com/epppYrnSe4

I knew teeth could break, fall out or get holes in them, but how on earth can they separate?! I don’t even think I want to know.
This certainly isn’t the first broken jaw we have seen, and you can look at an X-ray of one of the nastier ones here. But an NFL analyst suffering a gnarly injury like that? I think that’s a first.
