Just then Kyle Brady walks across the tv screen with his arm around an asst. coach and the asst. coaches arm around KB. He is not walking with any type of limp from what I can see.

Thanks for the roadmap - I just looked at and to me it looks like the coach is helping K. Brady walk (i.e. supporting him to take pressure off one foot or leg.) The clip was too short for me to tell if Bready was limping, but it sure looked like he was being helped.

edit: I also found that there is a shot of Brady standing (not sitting) on the sideline near BB a few minutes earlier, during the second replay of a run by Maroney which took place at 10:07 of the third. It is just a quick glimpse but it looks like he is standing unaided. I don't know how to reconcile that he is apparently standing unassisted with weight on his feet at 10:07, and then he is apparently being assisted to walk a few minutes later without having been back on the field, but it is what it is.

This is a HUGE loss. I would have liked to have seen him in 6-man protections against the Colts, and taking on those undersized LB's as we run out the clock in the 2nd half.

Since my last post I have been scanning the rest of the game, and I just found a scene of Brady standing behind BB with 11:50 to go in the 4th. In this shot it is clear he is not being assisted, not leaning on crutches, or anything like that. You can't see below the knees but I would think that if he had any kind of lower leg or foot injury they wouldn't want him to be putting weight on it, and they would want it to be elevated and iced to minimize swelling. You can also clearly see his arms are not bandaged or wrapped or in a sling of any kind.

Based on this I wonder if maybe he just wasn't feeling well? Maybe he got his bell rung, or had some cramps or a charlie horse or back spasms, and BB figured that the game was well in hand so why push it? It certainly doesn't look like there is anything seriously wrong with him.
