It's going to be a big loss for them for a lot of reasons.

The larger the player, the longer it usually takes them to recover for any type of leg injury. Vince is 350lbs, he's got a lot of weight on those legs. I remember Maake Kemoateu tore his Achilles, a year later was on the redskins and was showing signs of not recovering from it, then spent a year away from football, then went to the ravens and won the Super Bowl looking like what he used to look like 3+ years ago. Vince will be very lucky to look like himself 2 years from now.
