Chest injury - likely ribs, maybe sternum.

He went down once and came back in only to go down again right before halftime. at first I was a little worried but it only looked to be a minor upper body injury. McClain is the main backup to Willis and will probably take some of his goal line work, but other than that, if Willis is healthy, he should see 20 carries a game. I'll take the risk with Willis as my RB2 in a offense that looks like it can really move the ball well.

when they showed McGahee coming back out of the locker room he looked to be breathing pretty delicately and wincing.then his first carry he ran really tentatively... and looked to go down before anyone really hit him. i didn't see the entire second half. did he play? did he look like he was running hard?
He only carried once in the second half. Not going to hunt for the link but in the Carroll County Times writeup after the game he said he got an Xray, everything was fine, and he would be good to go but I'm a little dubious. Two season ago with the Bills he suffered a chest injury which caused him to miss game or two and when he came back they split the carries between him and A-Train. All this talk of a RBBC was pretty much BS but with Willis being limited I could certainly see a RBBC for the next few weeks.BTW-It's one thing or another with this guy. It's getting frustrating. The knee, the eye and now his chest and he's barely even played this year.
Here is the link:
NOTES: Ravens running back Willis McGahee’s chest was X-rayed, but no fracture was revealed. "I got a little injury, but I’ll be all right," said McGahee, who rushed for 42 yards on 13 carries.. "I took a helmet right on the side. I don’t know what’s going on. It was real aggravating. I couldn’t move at some point, but I will be ready." McGahee said that his eye injury wasn’t a factor. "It looks bad, but it’s not bothering me," he said

I heard on ESPN about 30 minutes ago, that McGahee is just banged up. I don't remember the guy who was talking and said it, but they were going over the injuries from the game last night. He said that McGahee is still getting into game shape, and he was just banged up right now, but nothing serious.

I don't know what game you were watching but Mcgahee was just getting started when he got clobbered by a helmet to his chest.McClain looks good too but don't fool yourself. McGahee will be this teams workhorse once he is in game shape in the next 2 weeks. MClain is a tough runner but a slower version of Natrone Means IMO. With this team I think we can see they will run run run. So 35 carries between them is what I envision with McGahee getting at least 20 plus touches between the running and passing game.

Maybe McGahee is just out of shape. Maybe he was just getting started, but McClain had a 3.9 YPC with a long run of 11 against Willis' 3.2 and long run of 12. So it's not like a long run is inflating either number. The guy has amazing feet for a big guy. Rumors of McGahee being a head case and possibly being brittle may make the guy expendable despite having more talent....
