This video is medspired by the complicated hamstring injuries that LA Chargers WR, Keenan Allen & LV Raider's TE, Darren Waller have been dealing with (NFL 2022-2023). Many fans & fantasy managers have been disappointed by the extended time they have missed & I hope this tutorial helps explain why.
