Update On Angel Garza's Injury, Estimated Timetable For Return

The Raw Tag Team title match at Clash of Champions ended abruptly, after challenger Angel Garza appeared to suffer a legitimate injury to his leg.

Garza provided an update on his condition in a YouTube video. According to Garza, the injury is a small tear to his quadriceps, and he doesn't expect to miss too much time.

"Montez went for a kick and I grabbed the kick. When I lowered it, I went for the knee, but I put in a little too much force into it," Garza recalls of the moment. "I thought when I was going to do it, [Ford] was a little too far from where I was and I didn't measure myself properly. When I tried to stretch my leg towards him, the other leg that was supporting it couldn't handle it and was stretched out too much. 

"That's when I heard a small pop, like a balloon exploding. Everything around that area started to get really hot and when I tried to move the leg, I had that tension close to my groin and it was my quadriceps, almost reaching my hip. That's what I felt.

"It was a quad tear and we already began treatment. I've been putting ice on it and bandages for the tear."

As far as his prognosis, Garza says, "Right now, I just came from an evaluation and we have been advancing through it incredibly. Thank God I just started to feel good. I still have more evaluations to do, but if all goes well, I think I might be out from a week to maybe 15 days.

"Thank God that it wasn't anything long-term like five or six months. They told me if I had continued, I could have completely torn [the quad] and would have been out for a very long time."
