hucksker Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Any up-dates on the injury to the Rutgers Lineman that happened in the final minutes of the game today. Praying he is OK. Huck Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I saw a link on FB that he was showing movement in hospital....Hopefully he has a quick and full recovery! Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Believe it was Nelson. Looks like he and a teammate hot helmets on the replay. Bad bend to his neck. Praying he is alright. Never want to see an injury like that. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Update per Coach Flood: Nelson was taken to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick as a precautionary measure, according to coach Kyle Flood. Flood said after the game that Nelson had full movement in his extremities, but teammates understandably were still shaken up by the incident.

Elf Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I saw a link on FB that he was showing movement in hospital....Hopefully he has a quick and full recovery! He was showing movement before they loaded him into that covered cart thingie when he gave everyone a thumbs up with his right hand. Quote Link to comment

Exactly, on both accounts. No one ever wants to see a player injured like that. That nasty bend to his neck when he collided with his team could have been a horrible injury. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Sounds like Nelson is going to be okay. Sure glad to hear it. It seems like Rutgers is snakebit for this kind of neck injury. Remember Eric LeGrand, the Rutgers DT who got paralyzed a few years back? Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That was an ugly impact. I bet his teamate he collided with was a wreck with worry. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That looked really bad from the replays. Glad to hear that he's going to be okay. Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That was an ugly impact. I bet his teammate he collided with was a wreck with worry. I'm not sure who he collided with but all his teammates that I saw looked very worried. One was moved to tears. Quote Link to comment
adc7236 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 A relief to know he will be okay. It looked pretty bad on the replay. My prayers go out for Nelson. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 True Nebraska fans on display here. Eric, pretty sure was announcing the game. He has a gig on XM/Siris radio with Chris Childers or Braden Gall. He is a great kid/young man. I am sure he was moved during this. Thank you all for your compassion for the young man. This is only a game, and these kids, for every team, put it on the line for our enjoyment. Giving respect to your opponent only makes you a better team. Prayers for the young man.

Kernal Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 UPDATE: Rutgers issued the following press release on Sunday afternoon: "Derrick was released from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on Saturday night and walked out of the hospital under his own power." ------------------------------- Rutgers' disappointing 31-14 loss to Nebraska on Saturday took a backseat to the concern for center Derrick Nelson, who was involved in a scary collision late in the game. Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said after the game that Nelson had full movement in his extremities and was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick as a precaution. On Sunday, Nelson said he is "doing well" via his unverified Twitter account. http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2015/11/rutgers_center_derrick_nelson_i_am_doing_well_afte.html 1 Quote Link to comment
