Watching him play Sunday it just seemed like an injury was imminent. Not major, but something was/is coming with that guy (when watching him - might just be me).

He didn't seem too down when he was interviewed.

I imagine he will still play. He played very aggressively so naturally he’s going to be a little beat up

He looked to me like he was hurting after several plays. He was struggling with something during the game... maybe it was his oblique, who knows.

I think he landed on the ball at least once.... Hope it's nothing serious.

Yeah, that’s what I saw too. At one point he was getting up slow every time. I am not surprised by this.

I swear I cursed him.

Picked up Kelsey - mystery injury

Theilin - mystery injury

Watson - mystery injury

Hopkins - mystery injury

Then just picked up Puka off waivers since I lost week 1 with all these injuries. Now Puka is injured.

Sorry. My fault

He was injured during the game and had to leave the field for at least a couple plays. Might be related to do that.

Hmm hopefully he didn’t hurt it during practice damn. No Kupp or Puka would suck so bad.

You can play with these types of injuries-- with a pain shot.

The oblique muscles can be superficial to deep and extend over the abdomen to the ribs. It can be very painful. It's a strain of an abdominal muscle.

Minimum treatment is for 2-6 weeks of rest. Trying to play with it risks losing him for the year. IMO they will shut him down for two weeks and then reassess the injury.

I swear does it never end? It sounds like it happened in practice.

No you're right, he has a reckless playing style. Throws himself into contact and lays out for every ball. You have to appreciate the dedication but definitely leaves him susceptible to injury..
