One of my favorite defensive players (LB Nick Thomasson) went down last night late in the game with what LOOKED like a knee injury. He had to be helped to the sidelines. Does anybody have an injury update on Nick?

Isabella tweeted it wasn't an ACL, thankfully.
That's great news. Thanks.Originally Posted by Dubya261
We rarely talk about Nick Thomasson here on BB&B, but he is absolutely A BEAST in the middle of our defense. He makes everything go, and he shows up every week. Fast kid too. He had some tackles behind the line of scrimmage last night.
He was walking around on his own after a few minutes. He had a sleave-brace on after the staff were done evaluating him.
What about Henderson? I didn't see him go back in after a massive collision. They took his helmet away.
Carlos suffered a concussion last night according to Sean Isabella.
Isabella article:
. Carlos Henderson is the missing link — Sorry, Louisiana Tech fans, for Henderson's tease Friday. The redshirt sophomore showed how electric he could be with 115 yards and two touchdowns, along with a 57-yard kickoff return, only to suffer a concussion in the third quarter. Henderson can't catch a break. He had finger surgery in August and didn't get up to speed until several games of the season. Then when it looked like he was back in the mix, Henderson injured his hamstring. Then came an internal injury earlier this month. Now, it's a concussion. Tech will be fine the next three weeks if Henderson has to rest against bottom feeders North Texas and UTEP, but he could be the difference-maker down the stretch against Southern Miss and potentially in the C-USA title game. He's exactly what this offense has been missing most of the year.
Henderson's concussion was because of a targeting helmet to helmet.
Do we have video of this yet?
I don't doubt it. Carlos Henderson got absolutely lit up by a Rice DB (#19) after a great catch and run over the middle. It was almost as if Carlos didn't see the DB coming at him. But he should have. It was a vicious hit, but Carlos held on to the football. I hope he's okay. It was the best game Carlos has ever had.
Does anybody have a video of this play?
I agree with this. Henderson is a real difference maker for our offense. He had a beautiful game last night. Unfortunately, he gets hurt too often to really be counted on.
Trent would have been blown up on that play as well. It was just bad luck that anyone got hit that way and bad luck that it was Carlos.
We backed it up a couple of times to look at it- I can't believe they didn't make a call there.
Understand we are talking about CH as being "the missing " on offense but let's be carefull-- Without Driscall, KD , TT , PT . Think I understood what you meant-- he elevates our offense to another level.. But those 4
My ULM grad girlfriend was LIVID at that hit. She's a Dawg fan too. I had to explain the rule of "defenseless receiver" to her. Even with helmet to helmet, Carlos was not defenseless at the time of the hit, and as much as I hate to say it, that was not a penalty.
