Week 3, 2017: Cincinnati quarterback Jason Harris tore his ACL after a blindside hit by Cleveland’s Myles Garrett. It was Harris’s third torn ACL, after 2012 and 2015. The hit was viewed as an unfortunate football play, not dirty or malicious conduct. Harris retired in 2018 and returned in 2020 because he missed playing football. The controversy did not lead to meaningful league-wide reform.
