Rage.

Just hope they're careful with him; there's no reason at all to rush him back.

That ************ who hit Price was the same douchebag who hit #47 ?

Hope that ****er breaks a leg and i don't mean it as in good luck.

Meh...remember Wright? I never like seeing a player take a hit like that. And considering the reports that Price has been looking good in training camp and then he performs in his first preseason game...really don't want him to miss any time.

I don't seem to remember the hit on Price as head to head at all. I was worried about his knees when it happened. Is there YouTube for this?

It really looked helmet to helmet to me. I'm sure there is a shorter vid with this footage but I know it is in this long one:

As an update, Ian Rapoport is saying that it looks like he "tweaked an ankle" in the game, but obviously there's no official word as to what it is. All I have to say is watching that hit again - he got hit pretty hard, so who knows. Hopefully either way he'll be OK.

You're thinking about his punt return. That punt return occurred well after that hit he took to the head on the called back interception. Considering how strict they are about concussions I doubt he would have been in returning that punt if it was very serious.

He played a lot in game 1. Give him a day off and let some other guys get some reps.
