Did he have an MRI? I did not read that. I guess it would be reasonable to assume he did. Still, I havent heard anything about what an MRI showed. Soft tissue injuries, unless there is a tear, should not be season ending. Inflammation is at most a 4 week recovery with the medical care players get.

It is what it is. I guess they just have to deal with it.
I think it was him that had a X-ray that was negative during the game. Followed by MRI. At first I thought it was 4 weeks. Must be worse than we thought.

MRI and other tests on Monday.

I've seen it called a neck strain. Which hopefully that's all it is and no nerve issues.
