Seattle Seahawks tackle Russell Okung was not happy when told that he would be doubtful to return against the 49ers, and the trainer found that out the hard way.
It might get overlooked, but maybe one of the hardest jobs in the world is being the doctor or trainer on an NFL team that tells a player that he can’t play the game that he loves. Seahawks tackle Russell Okung was given this news on Sunday by one of the trainers, and he showed us all that it might also be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world as well.

In the first half, Okung suffered a chest injury that left his return to the game questionable. So naturally, someone had to tell him.
Well, the person that got to deliver the bad news almost got some bad medical news of his own, courtesy of Okung.
Of course you can understand why Okung is so upset, but really there’s no reason to put your hands on the trainer, who’s very much smaller than you are.
But at the same time, the trainer has been around this so much that he more than likely understands the frustration.
