What happened to Nassib?

[LafayetteBear]

The ESPNU coverage showed him leaving the field and, later, standing on the sidelines, but was frustrated that the ESPNU announcers said nothing about what happened to him. Having the national sacks leader back on the field would likely have helped in defending NU's final drive. Given that obvious fact, I'm guessing he was not ready to go, but you couldn't tell from the brief shot of him what was wrong. Anyone know?

We were wondering the same thing. Would have helped tremendously having him on the field at the end. Never saw anything that indicated the issue.

Only thing I've seen is CJF's comment in post game presser that he hopes to have him back soon. Also Austin Johnson said he didn't know why he went out.

From what the radio team said when he came back out, I though that maybe he either got his bell rung or had some sort of upper extremity issue. We'll have to wait and see.

Ham and Jones mentioned his "right arm" and that he was going to the locker room.

If I remember correctly, even before going to the locker room it looked like he had one of his upper arms/shoulders wrapped.

Also curious about Jordan Lucas' status.

Good point about Jordan Lucas. There is always a big drop off in the secondary when either he or Allen is out.

looks like the bye week will come in handy for getting players healed

I think so. Barkley, Lucas, Allen, Nelson, Nassib ...

Nassib has had his upper right arm wrapped all season.

I have a hunch Zettel has been playing injured all season. He's not coming off the ball with his typical explosion. But, the motor is still there.

Chris I also felt that Zettel has been playing injured for the last few games

Maybe he should stop trying to tackle trees in the offseason

Hi MN 78 god forbid I have to listen to ther television announcers while watching the game I shut the sound off and listen to Ham and Jones

Agree. Lucas, Bell, Zettle, Haley, Allen and practically the entire O-line have all been battling injuries this season now add Nassib. Barkley also looked like he "tweaked" something later in the game.
