The newest dangerous injury risk decimating NFL rosters isn't blindside hits or chop blocks. Nope -- it's over-enthusiastic sack celebrations.
Lamarr Houston of the Chicago Bears is out for the season because he injured his knee while gloating after making a sack during his team's 51-23 beating by the Patriots on Sunday. But get this: Houston isn't the first player to tear his ACL celebrating a sack this season; Stephen Tulloch of the Detroit Lions beat him to the punch more than a month ago.

Here's Tulloch going down like a wounded animal after celebrating a sack against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 21. He tore his ACL and is out for the year.
And here's Houston doing his best Tulloch impression this Sunday against the Patriots.
You never like to see a pro athlete get injured. But if you tear your ACL while celebrating a sack in a blowout loss? It's hard not to think of that as a strong dose of instant karma.
