Summary
- Country music star supports husband during reality show challenge
- Retired NFL player Eric faces intense "Murder Ball" test
- Eric injured during physical exercise on day 6 of the competition
On October 30, 2025, a retired NFL player named Eric was forced to exit the reality TV competition "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" after sustaining an injury during a grueling physical challenge.
The fourth season of the Fox series saw the remaining 10 celebrity contestants face their most intense test yet - a hardcore military task called "Murder Ball." This involved the recruits physically battling each other over a ball in a mud pit, designed to push their determination and grit to the limit.
Eric, who had been excited to take on the challenge, was supported by his country music star wife as he competed. However, the 38-year-old was ultimately injured during the intense exercise on day 6 of the competition, leading to his departure from the show.
His wife had previously expressed her desire for Eric to have the chance to face this kind of physical challenge again, having not experienced it since his NFL retirement in 2018. Sadly, the "Murder Ball" test proved too much, and Eric was forced to exit the competition due to his injuries.
