Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Frye was spotted limping after the game on Sunday, and commented "I took some good hits and I'm sore, but I'll be ready (for the next game)."
Trent Green was knocked out in Sunday's game, and taken off the field on a stretcher with his head and neck immobilized. X-rays were negative, and general manager Carl Peterson commented on Green "Actually, when he did wake up, he remembered every play except the one that knocked him out. So we're being very optimistic and hopeful." However, the trauma was characterized as "severe" - Green owners will want to pay close attention to his progress as concussions routinely cause serious side effects that may crop up days after the initial injury is suffered. Green may be out for a substantial period of time.
