Great game of Rainey,but terrible injury
I sure hope he's OK. Way too many injuries this year.
Hope its not too serious, prayers are with you.
Dejan Kovacevic@Dejan_KovacevicChris Rainey tells me his ribs are not broken. Expects to be "really uncomfortable" for couple days but not miss game time. #Steelers
Great news!Quote:

hopefully just some bruised ribs...painful, but not all that serious when it comes to football injuries
I heard possible possible collapsed lung anyone else here this?
Yes, but stillers4me posted a tweet above that suggests he won't miss any time.
Hope he's doing well tonight. Gotta admit, it's nice to see all the players praying together whenever something like that happens. Have to give a nod to the Giants players that came over to get the Steelers players attention and pray with them. That's a class act.
100% agree. There are things more important than football. Not many, mind you. :chuckle:Quote:

Its great to hear Chris will be okay! I also agree about the players praying together, that was really nice to see.
Steelers Depot@SteelersdepotRumors circulating that Chris Rainey had a punctured lung appear to false as @albyox reports he walked to bus & is on the plane.
Great news. A punctured lung? That's not one you hear everyday.
He did get speared right to his chest.Quote:

Yeah I'm anxious to see that play again. It looked to me that the Giants may have purposely piled on a bit, possibly with the intent of removing Rainey from the remainder of the game. In other words I think that was a deliberate cheap shot put on because Rainey had been killing them all game.Quote:

Well, I guess I should have read all the responses as mine is inline with Zulater's.
It looked like a deliberate spear with the helmet after Rainey was down. Should've been a personal foul.Quote:
