Boubacar Cissoko ( injury update question)
While at the game today, I couldn't help but notice how his arm clearly is injured, and the drop off in play with JT Floyd on the field. Hiller seemed to pick on Floyd when he was in.
Did they discuss his injury on TV/Radio? What is his injury and how bad is it? Any other Injuries of note from the game?
Great tackling by the D today. But as great as they D was today our depth has me concerned for the balance of the season.

quoting Tim's twitter from the press conference:
minor looked ok in warmups - he hopes brandon can play next week. cissoko and moundros and hemingway probably ok for next weekAs far as hemingway, he later said he could have come back in the game today, but just stayed out for precautionary reasons

pending UFR of course, but I'm pretty sure he got beat bad on both the long completions by Hiller in the second half.

was the guy M was giving the least help to/iso'd up the most. So the staff may well consider him their best cover corner.

Pretty sure I heard Rich say in his Presser that Cissoko had a nerve in his shoulder that was bothering him.....

He came out looking like he had a separated shoulder. Hopefully he'll be ok for next game. He was being a beast on special teams too.

from my vantage point, it appeared he got himself concussed on that kickoff coverage. When he got up, he took a couple of sideways steps away from the M bench.

The sideline reported said he had a small gash on his chin and was having difficulty telling north from south.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:20 PM ^
I can vouch for that. From where I was sitting, it didn't look like Moundros had any idea where he was.

Moundros got concussed.
It was also said that Cissoko probably could have gone back in the game if they needed him, but the game was already in hand.
