Ethan Pocic

No. 55 · 10th season

Pocic cleared after a torn Achilles — the phone can ring again

A torn Achilles in December doesn't just end a season. For a free agent center with no team waiting, it can feel like it ends a lot more than that.

Ethan Pocic plays one of the quieter positions in football — center, the player who snaps the ball and holds the offensive line together. It is easy to overlook that job until something goes wrong. Pocic knows the feeling of going wrong.

The injury came in December. The surgery, the rehab, the uncertainty — all of it with no contract, no guaranteed roster spot to return to. That is a particular kind of hard.

Now he has his medical clearance. Whatever team picks up the phone gets a healthy center on the other end. The question is who calls.
