From the Hun, 31 July 2017:
CARLTON coach Brendon Bolton has called Ed Curnow’s parents to explain a move to send him back onto the field with an injured larynx.
Curnow is in danger of missing the rest of the season after suffering the bruised larynx in the Round 14 loss to Richmond.
Carlton has confirmed the tagger is still experiencing difficulty talking during activity.
Curnow sought medical treatment on the interchange bench after receiving a blow to the throat and was permitted to return to the field for a short period.
He went to hospital that night.
And from Ed himself:
“It’s probably the strangest injury I’ve had in my career,” he said.
“I got a tiny elbow to my neck playing against Richmond in the first minute.
I got sick of reading about who smashed Ed’s larynx so I’ve just watched the game focusing on Ed...
You could have saved yourself some time and just studied the first minute
It looks like Martin threw an elbow back after Ed tackled him to the ground. Pretty innocuous, but that’s all it takes.
