Antonio Brown dodged one bullet by avoiding fracture. Now he is going to hospital to monitor leg to ensure no development of “compartment syndrome”. If that occurs, pressure in leg prevents arterial blood flow & surgery is required. That would end his season.

Good info on AB in this video:

Summary: Fact that he's going to hospital is a concern but doesn't tell us anything for sure. Compartment syndrome would be season ending, if they monitor him and it doesn't develop he should be OK but could still miss a week or two.

That’s nasty stuff...that’s what happened to Ryan Johansen in the NHL playoffs last year.  Had emergency surgery to relieve the pressure.  Was said to be one of the most painful things (and he finished the game before going to the hospital after)

Partially torn calf muscle. Back for playoffs.

Partially torn calf muscle. Back for playoffs. 

Nice to see he avoided a break but...if as bad as they are indicating, he won't be a factor in the playoffs.

MCL for Conner (ticker this morning on ESPN)... don't know any other details.
