Clay Matthews is tough. He told reporters this week that midway through last season he suffered a stress fracture in his left leg. The only solution…play through the pain. Matthews went on to tell reporters that the leg eventually healed by the end of the regular season and did not hinder him in the Super Bowl. The Packers went on to win the Championship. Matthews says he is pain free for the upcoming season.
