Sammy Morris Injury

What was the nature of the injury during the game? He went off like it was nothing serious, but Faulk played well while he was out. I would be very interested to find out the answer to this situation. Most importantly for fantasy footbal reasons.

I'm not a doctor but I did date a girl once who was going to med school.

If it is a chest injury such as a torn muscle, a sling would be the right thing to do as it stablizes the arm. I did tear a muscle in my upper back/shoulder blade area and the doctor stapped my arm to my body and put in a sling. I had very littel pain after that and in a couple of days was able to move my arm around withut any pain.

If that is the case, I have no idea how long it will take for a torn chest muscle to be football ready.

I seriously doubt it was a torn muscle, just from the way the injury happened. More likely are A-C joint injury, clavicle or rib fracture, rib cartilege, sternum, something of that nature. However, your stabilization theory could still apply.

My personal guess is low-grade A-C joint injury - (shoulder separation). I've had one of those myself.
