Nick Kypreos – Toronto Maple Leafs

During a pre-season game in September 1997, Kypreos got into a fight with Rangers Ryan VandenBussche. The fight was so savage that Kypreos was knocked unconscious on the ice. After the injury, doctors said Kypreos suffered from post-concussion syndrome and was forced to retire.

Niles Paul – Washington Redskins

In 2015, the Redskins re-signed Paul for a three-year, $10 million contract. Fancy. However, not long after Paul suffered a devastating season ending ankle fracture dislocation (phew, mouthful), in the first preseason game against the Browns. Currently, he’s on the injured reserve list after suffering yet injury during week 8 in 2016.
