Collingwood star Jeremy Howe stretchered off after horrific injury

Howe suffers injury in game against Geelong

Jeremy Howe, the Collingwood star, suffered a severe injury and was stretchered off of the ground in the game against Geelong. In the early stages of the third quarter, Howe attempted to spoil the ball and collided with Geelong opponent Tyson Stengle, landing awkwardly on his left arm as he braced for contact with the MCG turf.

Howe’s injury considered a broken forearm

Given the severity of Howe’s injury, which is thought to be a broken forearm, broadcasters chose not to show the incident’s replay. Howe was lying on the ground in excruciating pain with his arm out while Collingwood’s trainers rushed to assess him, stopping play.

Before suffering a severe knee injury in 2020, Howe had been one of Collingwood’s most durable players. He played only four games that season and played just eight games in 2021 primarily due to a hamstring injury.
