WATCH: Grisly Footage Of NFL's Branden Oliver Snapping His Achilles

San Diego Chargers running back Branden Oliver suffered a horrendous Achilles injury ahead of the new NFL season.

Football teams across the States are gearing up for the new campaign with pre-season games occurring over the weekend, but, unfortunately for Oliver his participation is over before it even started.

Footage has surfaced of the 25-year-old snapping his Achilles, and it's safe to say the clip is grisly. Watch at your peril.

WARNING: GRAPHIC Footage, very GRAPHIC.

Check out the video below:

You don't need to be an expert to know the severity of the injury. To no surprise, Oliver will have to sit out the whole 2015/2016 NFL campaign. Here's hoping for a swift recovery.
