Michelle Beisner-Buck Undergoes Surgery After Golf Accident

Michelle Beisner-Buck, an ESPN reporter, underwent surgery to repair nerve damage in her fractured ankle following a freak accident where her husband, Joe Buck, accidentally hit a golf ball into her ankle while they were golfing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The incident occurred on July 7, but details emerged recently as the couple shared their experience through social media. Beisner-Buck described the injury as severe, stating her ankle was 'shattered' and that the impact also damaged her tibial nerve, which required surgical intervention after failed attempts with nerve blocks and lidocaine infusions. Joe Buck, who joined ESPN for 'Monday Night Football' in 2022, expressed his shock at the accident, emphasizing it was a total fluke. The couple, married since 2014 and parents to twin sons, had intended to enjoy a casual round of golf before Buck's work commitments. This incident highlights a bizarre trend of injuries among ESPN staff, with colleague Adam Schefter also recently reporting on another injury involving NFL reporter Field Yates.
