What muscles on the knee are damaged real bad that a football player cannot play football anymore?

It's not muscles that are damaged bad enough to end a player's career but meniscus and ligaments. The more common injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus (cartilage). Severe ligament or meniscus injuries require surgery to repair and it is possible to damage all three at the same time. An single injury to meniscus is generally not considered career threatening but an injury to the ACL and/or MCL certainly can be.
