How did Quinn get hurt? His knee now his hip?
Once you injure one part of your body, the rest tries to compensate and other injuries can follow. For example; if you injure your hip, your back may go out as well because of the way you're walking.
Don't agree with Quinn's need to be on the field right now with the team in the condition it's in but here's a couple of articles on Jack Youngblood. Btw if any of you missed the ROD interview with JY, click the link below.

Jack Youngblood's Broken Leg Playoff Performance
Date: 1979
Game: 1979 NFL Playoffs, Rams at Cowboys (Divisional), Rams @ Buccaneers (Championship), Rams @ Steelers (Super Bowl)
Watch it here
If there was any NFL player to play through an entire playoffs on a broken leg, it was always going to be Jack Youngblood. Football's original Ironman played 201 consecutive games across 14 seasons. In 1979, he broke his fibula in a Divisional match-up against the Cowboys, an injury that would knock any sane and non-masochistic person out for the season.
But no, Youngblood threw a plastic cast over his leg, played in the NFC Championship a week later, and the Super Bowl a week after that. We have a feeling that his frightening last name has something to do with his mental numbness towards pain.

Jack Youngblood thinks players should play through injuries

Jack Youngblood, the Hall of Fame defensive end for the Rams who famously played in the Super Bowl with a fractured fibula, thinks today’s players are getting soft.
Asked by the
New York Post what he would say to Giants defensive end
Jason Pierre-Paul, who is nursing back and shoulder injuries, Youngblood answered, “
Go play. It’s not about you. It’s about your football team.”
When Youngblood was asked if he would understand why Pierre-Paul might want to sit out and let himself get healthy, he said he couldn’t grasp that.
“No,” Youngblood said. “I would not understand, because I’d want to see him go try.”
Youngblood believes teammates should pressure each other to play through injuries.
“If I was on his team, I’d try to convince him to look at it from my perspective, because we would be on equal ground,” Youngblood said. “I want him on the field at 75 percent to see if he can play.”
The culture of football has changed since 1980, when Youngblood was universally praised for playing through a broken leg in Super Bowl XIV. Youngblood later wrote an autobiography that he titled,
Because It Was Sunday, using his standard answer to the question of why he played with a broken leg. Now a lot of people would say Youngblood is crazy, including many players who have come to decide that their long-term health is more important than Sunday’s game.
