He appeared to get Zero snaps but was not on the inactive list.

Did anybody hear anything about him?

I believe someone said he injured his back? Maybe in warm ups?

Back injury

What a shock, probably did it putting on his pads.

I wonder what in the world is going on with our defense that we keep having so many injuries... This is the second year in a row where we are getting decimated by injuries on D.

The defensive line warms up right in front of me every week. He came out dressed with the group and did one rep in warmups and hurt his back. He then stood there and watched the rest of warmups before Jim mauer came over to talk to him.

Turns out from that one rep he had back spasms.

I tweeted when I saw it If anyone knew what was happening but I don't think there are to many more losers like me actually paying attention in warmups.

i saw a post early on. At this point, what's left out there to bring in? could they be forced to bring in Marcus Spears?

Thanks for the info.

He was OK last week and showed decent effort. In the Lions game, he was running stride for stride with LB Durant chasing the RB down the sideline. It was impressive speed and effort.

Great stuff, theebs. Thanks.

Any word on Hatcher, sound was muted in the bar.

If its just spasms I am sure he will be fine.

Stinger. Same one he got against the broncos. Should be fine.

Thanks, and thank god, how was the crowd? I remember you saying you were kind of ambivalent about going, must have been exciting though. I was down for that 2007 game when Watkins returned the blocked FG, for a TD, great game.....tons of Viking fans.

Heard during the radio broadcast he was having back problems on Friday and this was just an extension of that injury, he thought it would work out on gameday(Christy Scales), problem is he left someone off the active list when it pans out like it did today.

Crowd was as poor as I thought it would be, but the final drive was worth it for anyone in the building.

Having the doors and roof open is fantastic, I wish it was like that more.

circa Marco Rivera

Marco Rivera Contact = 20 million contract with signing bonus and guaranteed base salary for the season.

Marvin Austin = Non guaranteed contract (will cost the Cowboys 235k if he remains on the roster the entire season)

Gotta say the Austin/Rivera comparison was about the worst comparison I've ever read on this board and that's saying something.

A little over reach there. What other injury elements do these two players have in common? It was meant to be tongue and cheek.

Do you remember how Rivera hurt himself? Think about it a little bit, it won't seem so strange anymore. Hint, it has nothing to do with their respective contracts.
