I think Rib injury may be easier to heal from than a serious core muscle injury. But would still expect 3 weeks out minimum. Which could mean return after bye week.

I honestly thought he'd been concussed.

He looked real lost. And watching him all but crawl off the field with a guy holding his arm to keep him steady sure seemed like he'd had his bell rung.

But maybe it just hurt that badly so they had to help him relax that side. If that's the case, that could've been a rib that got broken/displaced. In which case he'll miss some time.

I'd almost prefer a concussion. Hope Remmers is back next week because Wylie is clearly nothing more than a stop-gap there. Gotta figure Crosby will just kick the shit out of him.
