Kurt Warner suffers broken jaw after being elbowed in face

Kurt Warner has not appeared in an NFL game since 2009, but six years off from football didn’t stop him from breaking his jaw.

The former NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion quarterback revealed on Twitter Friday that he recently took an elbow to the face and suffered a broken jaw. He didn’t go into specifics about how the injury happened:

A few minutes later, Warner’s wife Brenda shared some nasty photos on Twitter that showed the damage. In addition to breaking his jaw in multiple places, Warner also had his teeth separated.
