Anyone know what exactly happened to Bradshaw on this play?

I'm no doctor, but it seems to me like he suffered a pretty bad concussion. If so, I think it was really irresponsible of the coaching staff to put him back in that game. 

 

I'm hoping I'm wrong here and it was something else.

[TKnight24]

I thought he was just gassed out. I think a timeout was called and he just collapsed from being exhausted. Let's see if his name pops up on the injury report before we panic

That looked a lot worse then just being gassed.

 

Dude completely lost his legs. 

[Carlos Danger]

That looked pretty bad.. like you said... hope its something else... Those were some wobble legs..

[coltsfanmilyman]

Yeah, his legs wobbled like a prize fighter, then DOWN GOES FRAZIER! DOWN GOES FRAZIER

[BOTT]

The doctors would have to clear him, so it wouldn't be on the coaches.

[JlynRN]

I saw that during the game and wondered if he had gotten a concussion or had his bell rung.  Hopefully it's nothing serious.

[Bluefire4]

He looked pretty good after it so it shouldn't be too serious..

[House]

Not saying this is the case, but you can be woozy and seeing stars from a blow to the head, without it being a concussion.

[Freenyfan102]

It could be TMF from running the ball ?

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Cause Havili got whacked too but he stayed in the game. I'm sure he saw a few tweety birds while he was down though. The 49ers had a few good hits on us but we came out on top as the more physical team when it was all said & done

Yeah my bad that's what I meant.

[jmac_48]

I was wondering about that myself, When the trainers got out there it looked like they were tending to his left shoulder and arm.

It could have been a stinger to the shoulder which could have effected his spine too, and caused the legs to collapse like that but I really don't know.

I was surprised he came back so quickly too. Didn't seem to cause problems with his play though.

[Dark Superman]

It was scary at first I was sure he would be out for the game..

Dude just keeps on getting stronger as the game goes on..

[Vance]

You can also be completely exhausted and be woozy and have wobbly legs. I know, I've seen me do it...

[Ohio Colt]

was shocked he was put back in

[BPM_Colt]

Thought he was done when I saw it. Awkwardly kind of collapsed. Hope he is all good though

[pacolts56]

My first thought was his foot busted on him again....but then he gashed them later on.

 

Beats me what happened.

[optimusprimetime]

I saw that when it happened but they did not replay it, he was pretty wobbly!  He looked great after and continued to get better as the game progressed.  Probably got his bell rung, also he did not have a preseason and could be a mixture of both.  I would be surprised to see him on the report, but this team and the rest of the NFL seems to be losing quality players left and right for the season.  Henry Melton Bears pro bowler is done for the year tearing his acl last night...I hope we can just stay healthy and I think we have a shot against everybody...GO COLTS!!!!

[thecorn4]

_{He would of had to pass a barrage of concussion test, and I think (not 100%) he would of had to leave the field to be evaluated.  He was out for a short time after.  We will see.}

[Shepman]

Thing I noticed was when he first stood up he shook his foot. I thought he re-injured it perhaps it got stepped on. Then he took a few steps and went down.

[GoColts8818]

I am a little shocked no one in the media thought to ask Pagano about it after the game or if they did he didn't say anything earth shattering in his answer.

[Mameluc]

he is concussed htere thats no stinger or foot IMO.

[Kenny]

Man I was worried after that play.

[appodictic]

I looked on NFL rewind- no coaches film yet and hard to tell from the angle. Looked scary for sure.

[dw49]

Maybe a shot to the stones ?

[atapcl]

I thought the announcers said it was a neck problem. He is out of town now attending his grandmother's funeral.

[HtownColt]

Yea they had a shot of our sideline early in the 4th quarter and they showed a trainer working on Bradshaw's neck, Jim Nantz always said it was his neck. Don't know the severity of it but he kept running and running hard.

[Indra]

That type of collapse could also be from dehydration.  You can lose control of your muscles/get very light headed when you're extremely dehydrated.  Throw in a few hard tackles here and there and you might have yourself a collapse that looks like that.

[Poster X]

I think it might be a concussion, and mentioned so in the game day... but he came back not long afterward. So I'm not sure what happened to AB. If it was a concussion they would have taken him back for tests.

[chrisfarley]

doesn't look good. dude is either hard-core or irresponsible coaching / trainer staff.  I wouldn't be surprised if he took the weekend off, we shouldn't chance it and also TRich will get more touches and also Brown is killin' the YPC thing so yea, sit him out.  If the coaching staff sees this video, that's all it would take.

[Crunked]

video gone, but yeah when I saw it on game day I was like, uh-oh..............musta' been a hella' stinger if he passed the concussion test and or it was determined to be a stinger.....those types of injuries can linger and compound with successive hits so it should be a concern for going to jaggy land........

Sometimes a stinger is painful enough to bring you to your knees. Lets hope he is OK. I haven't seen anything as far as an injury report at this time. 

[trustourgm]

He knew something was wrong...that's why when he hit his knees he grabbed his shoulder to play it off...players want to play...just like they don't call an nfl limo when drunk...a player does not want to be known for having concussions or for partying . It effects their money. That's the bottom line

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Uhm HE GOT KNOCKED OUT.

 

He looked like Zab Judah!!

 

[Coffeedrinker]

I know a lot of people on this forum never played football for various reasons (I'm not knocking it I'm just stating it).  But his legs weren't wobbly, he lost control of them and then you see his arm shake, that is not Bradshaw shaking his arm that is his body shaking his arm... it's a pinched nerve in the spinal column, where two vertebrae come together and compress a nerve.

 

It's not serious (most of the time) but you have to get the pressure off the nerve quickly and that is why you saw a few shots of him during the rest of the game when he was on the sideline and they were rubbing his neck... it was to keep the vertebrae from compressing on the nerve.  When they happen, the areas of the body that are connected to that nerve feels the same as the tingling feeling you get when a limb falls asleep and depending on the nerve those body parts can shake uncontrollably until the pressure is released from the nerve.

[NewColtsFan]

Not saying this is the case, but you can be woozy and seeing stars from a blow to the head, without it being a concussion.

 

I'm not sure that's correct....    I believe being woozy and seeing stars is the definition of the lowest level of concussion.

 

I think there are three levels of concussions...   and I think that's level 1.

 

If there's a doctor in the house,  it'd be good to weigh in here....

I know for a fact that I've been hit in the head so hard I've stumbled over, couldn't walk right for a few minutes. and seeing black and stars, and had a doctor clear me of a concussion.

Over protective moms and what not lol.

[John Dee]

Reggie said it was a shoulder issue I think..
