"Slim chance": Flegler's season comes crashing down, career still in jeopardy
The Dolphins have officially ruled out any chance of seeing star forward Tom Flegler back on the field for the rest of the 2024 season, leaving fans and teammates alike feeling deflated.
With news of a shoulder injury causing nerve damage, Flegler's future in the game hangs in the balance.
Coach Wayne Bennett delivered the heartbreaking news several weeks ago, hinting at the possibility that Flegler's days on the field could be numbered.
Despite initial hopes for a comeback, reports from News Corp now suggest that Flegler will not be making a return until at least next year, with Round 1 of the 2025 season being the best-case scenario.
"Doubtful would be an understatement at this point," expressed Dolphins high-performance chief Jeremy Hickmans about Flegler's chances of making a comeback this year.
It's a tough blow for the team, but they remain hopeful that Flegler will overcome this setback and bounce back stronger than ever.
