Patriots Aqib Talib Suffers Injury During Win Over Texans
By: Ian Logue

The Patriots may have taken care of business Monday night with a 42-14 win over the Texans, but it definitely didn't come easy for one of their top corners....

It was encouraging that he was still on the sideline, and according to one report 'jogging' as if testing out the injury in the fourth quarter.

He came down really hard on that play; wouldn't be surprised if it were a hip pointer or something like that.

He was definitely doing some short sprints back and forth on the sideline - kind of stretching it and working it out. He didn't appear to be wincing or in pain. I noticed this late in the third quarter (maybe early fourth) when the TV camera was on BB/the Patriot sideline. Talib could be seen in the background doing this routine.....

Thank GOD. We don't need anymore injuries. I wonder if Aqib could've returned last night. The medical staff probably didn't want to risk anything with the score being what it was.

He had a previous injury in Tampa with his hip. Hopefully he didn't flare anything up.

I'm pretty sure they were being extra cautious with him.

I noticed him laughing a smiling on the sideline - not the look of a man with a serious injury.

If the Texans had mounted any type of comeback I think they would have had him back on the field.

He seemed fine walking off. Slight limp but slapping his hands as if he was not happy about dropping the pick.

I didn't catch the end of the game (well not yet). Did Arrington get injured by Francis? It looked like Arrington's leg got stuck in the ground as francis jumped over the pile and rolled against arrington.


And for Arrington, he actually made some impactful plays last night.

I notice that he was injured after going to the ground hard on his hip. My nine year old isn't a world-class athlete like Talib, but he recently had a trauma to his shoulder as the result of a hard fall (actually of being taken down by his brother who thought he'd demonstrate a Tae Kwon Do move in our living room...talk about earning a "time out"...but that's another matter); X-rays were negative, but it was very painful and he couldn't even rotate his arm for a couple of hours. However, it was "only" a bad muscle bruise and later in the evening the mobility and feeling returned and he was fine the next day.

Hopefully, this is something analogous.
