BengalByTheBay Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does anyone know what happened to Rivers during the Packers game? Injuired? I saw Brandon Johnson get most of the playing time.I do recall him taking himself out after a hit. It looked like something with his side/ribs. It didn't look too serious as they showed him a few plays later standing on the sidelines in no apparent pain. I can't say whether I remember him being back in the game after that play though.

Kazkal Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 He pulled himself out for like 2-3 Plays I think he just got the wind knocked out of him,Brandon is the Knickle Linebacker if i'm not mistaken so gets quite abit playing time.

membengal Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 ML said at his presser they came out of the game okay healthwise, so I am not looking for any issues with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreen_112 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Rivers must've pulled something.. I seen the play. It was early in the game and it was on a running play from Grant to Rivers side. Rivers wrapped Grant up and stopped his forward progress. As the officials blew the play dead, Rivers made one last effort to tackle Grant. He used all his muscle and trusted his hips and tried to toss Grant to the ground but couldn't. Momentum from other tacklers took them to the ground. Rivers got up slowly holding his hip. Maybe a hip flexor? I hope it's nothing major.
