There are really only two possibilities:
1. They gave up and don't want to admit it.
2. They knew Preist was dinged up and didn't want to risk further damage to him. Vermeil said he didn't find out about Priest's injury until Tuesday morning, but Trent said he knew he was banged up right after the play happend.
Personally, I think it's number two. I can't understand why Vermeil wouldn't just come out and say that he was injured at the end of the game. That part is strange. Who knows, though.
