Hearing conflicting reports on that right now.interference said:ESPN101 guys just asked Fisher on air and he said it was a groin issue. But commenters now discussing it, and don't necessary believe it, saying Jax never had any ice on him and that Softli got no injury reports.
Yeah, I'm not sure if Fisher will want to embarrass him publicly, which would be a good move on his part if that's the case.X said:Hearing conflicting reports on that right now.interference said:ESPN101 guys just asked Fisher on air and he said it was a groin issue.

I did see someone say that trainers had him wrapped up in a towel as he was coming off, but he certainly didn't look hurt during that spike either. I suspect we'll never get the whole story on this one.
ScotsRam said:The other thing you have to remember is that by the end he would have been cold. Not only did Richardson play well enough to earn the reps, he was warmed up too. We are discussing the "message" that may or may not have been sent, but what about the message that would have been sent if Richardson got hooked after playing pretty well? Names play before production?
“I didn’t get a look until late," Fisher said. "I thought he scored. Steven thought he scored. He spiked the ball. He didn’t spike the ball in anger because he wasn’t called in (for a touchdown). He put the ball across the plane, so he spiked the ball.”
It looked like a "fuck you" spike to me.libertadrocks said:Here is Fisher's comment on the SJ situation:

I dont think he is being entirely truthful with that statement. I think he's covering for SJ.
We all know SJ has had the same TD celebration for the past several years, which I think is pretty bad ass, but it certainly isnt a spike. I doubt he changed.
MontanaRamFan said:Just saw hi-lights on NFL Network and they showed SJax with two guys holding towels around him and what appeared to be someone looking at his groin/leg. So, I would say that he had a leg injury of some sort and they held him out for pre-cautionary reasons.
By the way... any word on Saffold and Hunter? It appeared that trainers were taping Hunter's ankle after he came out.

Hunter went back in. IDK about Saffold. Didnt look good. They called him questionable to return tho, so who knows
