Elandon Roberts’ Rib Injury From Patriots-Texans Reportedly Not Serious
Elandon Roberts seemed to be in serious pain Saturday night, but it appears the New England Patriots linebacker avoided serious injury. Roberts suffered a rib injury in the third quarter of New England’s preseason game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium and was carted off the field. The Patriots reportedly got a positive update on Roberts on Sunday, though, as X-rays on his ribs came back negative, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. Rib injuries can be very painful even if there’s no structural damage, which would explain why Roberts didn’t return to Saturday’s game.

Tesla’s Worker Injury Rate Drastically Higher Than Industry Average In 2015
Share this: Automotive and technology enthusiasts likely would jump at the chance to work for a company as progressive as Tesla. That jump, though, could end in a painful fall.

Retired NFL Star Calvin Johnson Admits Hiding Concussion From Team Doctors
Share this: Add retired Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson to the list of NFL players who have hid a concussion from team doctors. Johnson recently said “of course” when asked if he ever hid a concussion from the Lions during his nine-year NFL career, per USA Today. “Guys get concussions, they don’t tell the coaches,” Johnson said Saturday following a football camp, per Dave Birkett of USA Today. “It happens. I don’t tell the coach sometimes cause I know I got a job to do. The team needs me out there on the field. And sometimes you allow that to jeopardize yourself, but that’s just the nature of the world.” Johnson missed nine of 144 games in his career, which is impressive given
Bruins Injuries: Patrice Bergeron Played Season With Sports Hernia
Share this: BOSTON — Tuesday was the Bruins’ break-up day, also known as the day we learn of the gnarly injuries they played through over the course of the season. There were no revelations to the extent of San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton’s knee injury, but a handful of Bruins certainly played hurt at times during the season. In fact, the injury bug bit the Bruins at the worst time, as Boston entered the playoffs shorthanded, ultimately bowing out in the first round in six games to the Ottawa Senators. Here’s an update on some of the banged-up B’s.

Jackie Bradley Jr. To Play In Pawtucket Tuesday, Could Rejoin Red Sox Vs. Oriole…
Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s lineup might be back to full strength in the very near future. Jackie Bradley Jr. hit the 10-day disabled list April 9 after suffering a knee injury rounding first base against the Tigers in Detroit during just the Red Sox’s fourth game of the season on April 8. But it appears that stay will be a short one. Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters at Fenway Park before Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays that the center fielder, along with infielder Josh Rutledge, who’s on the DL with a hamstring strain, will do baserunning drills Monday and join Triple-A Pawtucket for a rehab stint Tuesday. Farrell expects Bradley to be back with the Red Sox by
Red Sox Pitcher Brian Johnson Hit In Head By Line Drive In Minor League Game
Share this: Red Sox pitcher Brian Johnson seems to be okay after he was hit in the head by a line drive during a minor league game with the Pawtucket Red Sox on Saturday.
