Gates: Rivers playing with severe rib injury

Recommended Posts

 

 

"He's been taking shots all year," Gates said. "For those who don't know, he's been dealing with a rib injury, a very severe rib injury. But he's been toughing it out these last three, four weeks."

Rivers was sacked twice and hit four other times against Oakland. He had his knee rolled up on and also got the wind knocked out of him on the second sack of the day by rookie Khalil Mack.

"I'll be fine," Rivers said, when asked about any injuries he suffered during the game.

Not sure I want this to be known......

 

Our offensive line has been really bad aside from Dunlap. And I think losing Nick Hardwick has been really overlooked/understated.

Not sure that the knowledge of a rib injury changes anything for how defenders will go after Rivers. The torso and thighs are basically the only area that defenders can legally target anyways.
