Less than one year after suffering an MCL, ACL and meniscus tear during a game against Cleveland, Morgan Cox is being honored by teammates and the Ravens organization as this year's recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.
Despite the fact that his injury was typically one that would require a player to be carried off the field because they are unable to walk, Cox limped on his own to the sideline and only minutes later returned to the field to finish the game for his team. In pushing through immense physical pain to finish the game, Cox earned the respect of his teammates and coaches.
The Baltimore Ravens and many other teams in the NFL only carry one active long snapper on the roster so if Cox had not finished the game, Baltimore would have had to turn over the duties to backup running back Willis McGahee.
He finished the game without missing any snaps and the Ravens went on to earn the win, 20-10.
