I'm sure he'll be okay. Tommy needs to play against Buffalo to be ready in case he is needed during the playoffs. That will give Ben three weeks to heal up. Buffalo has had an amazing season on its own. Whodathunk the ex-Steelers they have up there would be making a run for it their first year?
we'll know a lot more by tommorrow on Ben, I just don't like to hear the word spleen mentioned.
I did a Gooogle search -- "Rupture of the capsule of the spleen, an organ in the upper left part of the abdomen, is a potential catastrophe that requires immediate medical and surgical attention. Splenic rupture permits large amounts of blood to leak into the abdominal cavity which is severely painful and life-threatening. Shock and, ultimately, death can result. Patients typically require an urgent operation. Rupture of a normal spleen can be caused by trauma, for example, in an accident."
I hope he hasn't had a rupture. I doubt it. Keep your fingers crossed.
