He related to the AP that Ware&#8217;s injury is similar to one Louisville football player Michael Bush sustained in 2006.  Bush went on to have a successful career playing for the Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The following link provides a clear look at Ware&#8217;s injury.
