jrfriedm Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sorry if this has already been discused, I did a search but didn't find anything except about Taylor Jacobs :confused:. Unfortanatly I was unable to watch last weekends game against the Steelers, but I told that on the same play that Bettis got hurt Bowen alson got hurt. I heard that they had to cart him off the field and take him directly to the hospital due to him coughing up blood. I haven't heard anything about this though and was wondering if this is correct information, and if so how is Bowen doing? What's his recovery time?

Fred Jones Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Wasn't the same play either. Matt B. got hurt tackling Bettis and had to leave the game. A little later Bettis pulled up lame on a passing play on a non-contact injury. Looked like he pulled his calf muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Bowen is a sneaky little DB. He fits very well (from what I can remember) in Greg Williams' schemes. He needs to buy 2 really nice knee braces, lacross rib pads, some thin tank armor, a thickass steel helmet, and a bottle of asprin. Cuz the kid is good, just pretty fragile. I feel the same way about Shawn Springs. Incredible talent and knowlege of the game, but I wince every time he makes a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Wasn't the same play either. Matt B. got hurt tackling Bettis and had to leave the game. A little later Bettis pulled up lame on a passing play on a non-contact injury. Looked like he pulled his calf muscle. It was actually the very next play. Bowen's injury looked very similar to Jacobs' injury his rookie year. I didn't notice it watching the game live but after watching the replay I did see it. Bowen tackled Bettis along the sideline with Rogers and his ribs landed right on Bettis' heel. He immediately grabbed at his ribs. It's also possible that it got Bettis' calf started since it was the very next play that he pulled up lame without really pushing hard off his leg.

Dead Money Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Bowen is anything but fragile. He brings a load on every play and sometimes he pays a price for playing TOO hard. I hope he gets well soon and returns to start. The defense has a definite swagger when he is on the field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsgully Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It looked like Bowen got Bettis lower leg/ankle/foot caught inbetween his rib cage and his left arm, which he landed on. It looked like he immediately went for a grab at that area. I wonder if they were worried about kidney damage or something. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
