McMahon suffered a lacerated kidney last year.  The doctors said that if
he lost the kidney, he would not play again (if he lost the 2nd, he would
die).  McMahon's injury does not at this point look like it will have any
effect on his future ability.  However, a knee operation or broken leg or
some other crippling injury can take a long time to heal (and most players
never heal all the way, it seems).
