Week 8 Injury Thread (1 Viewer)

We talked about having one big Injury thread vs a new thread each week here and most folks said they'd rather have a new thread each week. So here we are!

I'll start one each Monday.

A couple of things to please keep in mind that would be really helpful if everyone can do.

1. Please use the players real name when you're posting. And please be specific as you can about the injury. If you don't know, say you don't know.

In other words, "A-Rob just got blown up!!!!!" sucks. "Allen Robinson in on the ground with what looks like a knee injury" is way better.

2. Please let us know the source and share a link if possible. If you're watching the game and saw the injury, please say that. If you read it on Twitter, please say that and give a link. If you got a Sleeper Alert, please say that and click through on Sleeper to the source that's usually a tweet and share that link.

3. Please let us know what happened after the injury. This is super important. Was he:

Carted off

Helped off with assistance

Walked off with a limp or something

4. Please update if they come back to the game or sidelines. Hopefully it's a "He's back in the game and looks ok". Or it may be "He's on the sideline without his helmet". That kind of thing.

You get the idea.
 
Gus down, no idea yet
Gus looked bad initially. Was down on the ground for some time. However, he walked off under his own power and went to the blue tent. Appeared to be holding his hamstring. Ravens pulled pretty safely ahead so unclear whether he was truly out or just shut down given the score as a precautionary measure.

My non-medical opinion is that this is unrelated to the injury that had him on IR. It looked like he planted oddly and I was worried about a knee issue (again, I have zero medical training just watched enough sports to see injuries happen) but the way he held his leg suggests hamstring.

He was 11/65 and broke off a couple of longish runs where he made something out of nothing. He looked good. Drake looked good as well in relief.
 
Anyone see what happened to Thielen?

(12:29) (No Huddle) K.Cousins pass short left to A.Thielen to ARZ 27 for 16 yards (M.Wilson). MIN-A.Thielen was injured during the play.
 
Dak had his left Hand stepped on, he finished the drive, but they are working on his left hand on the sideline.
 
Higbee caught a pass and came up with his arm hanging. I believe I saw him come back onto the field but he then went to blue medical tent.

However as I type the above he reported back in.

Really? Looked like he was going to locker room.

I’m watching red zone. I think that’s what the host said.

If you saw him head to the locker room I defer to you.

Higbee back on the field.
 
Christian Watson WR GBP down. Not moving much. Ran into a few defenders with head lowered.

Now headed to locker room.
