Colts Adam Vinatieri to reportedly undergo season-ending knee surgery headed to injured reserve

The final scene might be now closing on an NFL legend, with the to place kicker on injured reserve, per Adam Schefter of ESPN Ben Simmons Jersey . Vinatieri has been battling a knee injury recently that finally saw him ruled out of the Week 14 lo s to the , and it appears he won't return in 2019.As it stands, the verdict is out on whether the future Hall of Fame kicker will return at all. Vinatieri has had one hell of a run in the NFL, joining the New England Patriots in 1996 after formerly playing in the Amsterdam Admirals of the now defunct NFL Europe. From there, the once undrafted talent established himself as one of the most clutch kickers of all-time, routinely helping to lift the Patriots to victory en route to four Super Bowl wins, three first-team All-Pro nods and three Josh Richardson Jersey Pro Bowl awards.Although he's still active in the league in 2019, he's already been named to the Patriots 50th Anniversary Team and George McGinnis Jersey a member of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, along with a nod to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.Needle s to say, when he became available in 2006, the Colts wasted no time bringing him onboard -- having already been victimized by him a time or two over the years. He began battling injury in 2009 though, having surgery on his Dwight Howard Jersey right hip followed by an arthroscopic knee procedure during the season that cost him significant time. From there, he'd bounce back en route to landing a two-year, $6 million extension in 2016 with a Colts team that had reportedly considered releasing him during his injury-riddled 2009 season, but opted to instead stay the course.Many more NFL milestones would be added leading up to 2019, and Vinatieri logged yet another when he became the league's all-time leader in field goal attempts -- pa sing Morten Andersen in the proce s. Time will tell if he continues to Jimmy Butler Jersey add to his legacy, but it feels like his stellar career may be at its end. If so, there's a gold jacket and a bust in Canton waiting for him.
