March 12, 2025 – Rio Grande Valley, TX – During a press conference at the DHR Health Orthopedic Institute, Jordan Brewster, a standout offensive lineman at PSJA North Early College High School, has defied the odds after suffering a devastating knee injury that could have ended his football career. Thanks to cutting-edge medical treatment performed by Dr. Daniel Romanelli, a respected orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports injuries, Jordan is now preparing to play college football at Nelson University in Waxahachie, Texas.
A Career-Threatening Injury
Jordan’s life took an unexpected turn in August 2024 during the first game of his senior year. While competing against San Benito, he was blindsided by an impact that dislocated his kneecap, tore his MCL and meniscus, and caused severe cartilage damage.
“I blocked my guy into the end zone, and after the whistle blew, I stopped. Then I got hit in the knee and heard four pops. My kneecap wasn’t in place anymore,” Jordan recalled.
Medical personnel quickly tended to him, but after a brief examination, his kneecap popped out again, indicating a severe injury. Initial hospital evaluations suggested a dislocated kneecap, but further MRI scans revealed extensive structural damage that required surgery.
