I read that Big E fractured his C1 and C6 vertebrae. Neither one was a displaced fracture so no surgery is necessary, however the C1 fracture is highly problematic. It's the one at the very top of the spine and is most closely associated with catastrophic spinal injury, paralysis, or death. Unless it heals perfectly, and there's no reason it shouldn't, this could be the end of Big E's career.
