Go Rainey Go Rainey Go

Rainey is having a hell of a game returning kicks so far this game. He is oh so close to breaking one for 6

IF he does, expect to see a late flag.

[stillers4me]

I think he's hurt

I was thinking the same thing when I typed this thread

[stillers4me]

According to Twitter, Rainey was taken to the hospital with a possible punctured lung.

Read this in the Gameday thread. Sending prayers his way...

[Count Steeler]

The players from both teams prayed on field, and I join my prayers to theirs. Get well Chris.

[polamalubeast]

ouch,this is terrible

Great game of Rainey,but terrible injury

[SteelerFanInStl]

I sure hope he's OK. Way too many injuries this year.

[Austin87]

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!

[steelpride12]

Awesome news! Having Rainey back for next week is great, the presence he has on the return game is a momentum changer!

[Hindes204]

hopefully just some bruised ribs...painful, but not all that serious when it comes to football injuries

[Carolina Steelers]

I heard possible possible collapsed lung anyone else here this?

[Count Steeler]

Yes, but stillers4me posted a tweet above that suggests he won't miss any time.

[Craic]

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.

[X-Terminator]

Glad to hear he's going to be OK!

[86WARD]

Great news!!

[steelerdude15]

Its great to hear Chris will be okay! I also agree about the players praying together, that was really nice to see.

[stillers4me]

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.

[Steeldude]

Great news. A punctured lung? That's not one you hear everyday.

[Count Steeler]

Great news. A punctured lung? That's not one you hear everyday.

He did get speared right to his chest.

This we can definitely agree on.

[Psycho Ward 86]

He should wear one of those "flak jacket" type of rib protectors that some QB's wear for maybe a week or a couple. Hate to see him get hit in the same spot and make it worse.

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.

[BnG_Hevn]

Did anyone see what happened to him? I'd hate to suggest such a thing, but is it possible that Giants players "landed on him" intentionally to take him out of the game? I mean, I know it's possible, but did it look as though that was the case?

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.
