Charles Tillman injury came after the Bears player Johnny Knox was carried out of the field as he received severe injury on his foot. Charles Tillman was injured in an effort to stop Minnesota’s Shiancoe from catching a pass.
Shiancoe jumped up to receive the pass; Bears’ Tillman and Steltz jumped up with him to stop him from his effort. Charles Tillman received injury on his chest during the struggle. Though the full details of the injury and present condition of the player is still not known. Presumably Charles Tillman got his ribs broken. The broken ribs must have made it hard for him to breathe by pressing lungs. Immediately after the injury Tillman was seen lying on the ground and was provided oxygen on the field. After a while he was lifted off the field. As he was being taken out many teammates were seen showing their frustration.
The same game has seen Johnny Knox going down with ankle injury. Coey Graham was brought in to replace Tillman.
Charles Tillman apart from being an accomplished player runs ‘Charles Tillman Foundation’. The foundation’s aim is to make available the resources to children, who are in need of them. Charles Tillman Foundation has helped almost one million children up till now.
Charles Tillman has spent much of his youth travelling around the world as his father was with U.S Army and had to serve on different places. Tillman is settled in Chicago and his foundation also operates in the Chicago area.
