Derrick Nelson

[biazza38]

can we please get an update. I know it's on the round table, but I figured something like a injury is permissible info to pass along. Thank you

So far, just that he moved hands and has feeling in extremities. Probably wouldn't hear more until tomorrow morning. I'm sure the mods will bend on this

This is the only reason I came back to the board tonight. Plenty of time for the other football related stuff later, but right now one of our guys is in a dark place and that's so much more important.

Didn't watch the first half (checked scores on my phone), then mostly fast forwarded through the second half and completely missed this. What happened? Scared to even asked.

On our last play, Laviano chucked it up deep and it was picked off. The guy tried to run it back and was eventually trapped and brought down. Nelson and another of our linemen had a nasty helmet to helmet collision on the tackle. Do not look for the replay, you do not want to see it. Carted off. He did a thumbs up from the stretcher. Keep praying.

I saw him getting in the ambulance or whatever that thing is.
He was being carried on a stretcher and gave a big fist pump.
Every on cheered then people started leave. It was nice
to see how many people wouldn't leave until they heard
or saw something.

Would have liked to have seen a foot pump too. Pray for the young man.

I've got a great feeling he's fine, but it did remind me of the Dennis Byrd injury a lot.

Carlin said he gave a thumbs up when he was carted off.

Hoping he's ok. Unline the EL hit, we didn't hear the hit from where we were sitting. Stadium was super quiet while they were working on him.
