Ruh-roh.

Donald pulled something in lower ribs/abs area.

if you see the replay, he dragged the full weight of Wilson into his rib cage on that tackle...right their at the solar plexus I think. OUCH. he's falling to the ground, as he smashes Wilson's hip into his ribs. He feels it as SOON as he hits. That's a legit wrasslin move, in the legit spot, and it had GOT to hurt.

Just watch the exact moment of impact and his face. Wilson just rolls off it because it was more of a cushioning effect from his perspective, haha.

yeah, now he's walking in the locker room. Maybe legit broken ribs. This will be massive in this game if they can't rush him at Wilson.

Seems like he couldn't draw in breaths. So it seems pretty bad.
 
And now the Rams technically no longer have a QB. Well, a modern one. It looks like Goff is limited to hand off's or tosses and maybe a few option tosses for the rest of the game.

yeah, it's bad. As soon as they showed the replay and I watched Russel's hip smash into his ribs, like a fricking fastball about to get turned back at 140 mph on a luisville slugger....you knew physics was being very unkind to Mr Donald at that moment.
 
I was just telling my wife the 3rd best thing about the Seahawks making the playoffs was I could run errands today and the stores were empty. The second best thing about them losing is I get to sleep tonight without fireworks going off until 3 am.

The very best thing is going to work Monday and clucking sympathetically to the hawks fans ( I'm a transplant and die hard 49er fan) that at least they made it to the playoffs and there is always next year.

Yeah, he played pretty well for an unknown(at least to me). The 1 INT was a tipped ball so i usually don't blame the QB on those.

At the moment he appears to be a better option than anyone else Washington has to play QB. Too bad they didn't play him more this season really ... can't say anything definitive from one start. (even if it was a playoff game)

His health might be the only reason he doesn't stick. Despite a career on the low end of the totem pole, he's gotten hurt at every stop.

He actually injured himself on that TD dive as well, and every play after had him playing with a torn AC joint on his non-throwing side.

It is amazing what an ibuprofen shot directly to the affected area can do. After the game he will feel it, but after that shot he will be fine with a brace to keep the knee stable. The human body is quite resilient.
