The cameraman, Doug Vogt, is Canadian so the CBC web has a more detailed article on this incident. Looks like Vogt is going to be ok, and probably Woodruff also.

A U.S. network news anchor and his Canadian cameraman who were injured in Iraq on Sunday are out of surgery, CBC News says.
Anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were wounded by an "improvised explosive device" while travelling in an Iraqi convoy, ABC News announced.
Vogt's wife is elated because she's been told he's fine, CBC cameraman Brian Kelly told CBC News from London.
"Doug is talking and his old self," he said after talking to Vogt's wife."It seems Doug has rolled the dice again and been very lucky."
"I've been in shock and tears most of the afternoon," Kelly said. "You always feel it's going to happen to someone else."
Woodruff is out of surgery and stable, he said.
Both were wearing body armour and helmets, but were reported to be in serious condition before the surgery in a U.S. military hospital.
"Both men suffered head injuries. Woodruff sustained shrapnel wounds and Vogt was hit by shrapnel in the head and suffered a broken shoulder," ABC said.
The two journalists were travelling with the 4th Infantry Division but were with Iraqi security forces when the device exploded in Taji, just north of Baghdad.
There were four journalists in the vehicle, but two got out to check an equipment problem, leaving Woodruff and Vogt inside. "That's when the explosion happened," Kelly said.
The attack is another example of the random violence in Iraq, he said. "It just comes out of the blue."
The men are expected to be flown to Germany on Sunday to the American hospital at Landstuhl, where three wounded Canadian soldiers were taken after a suicide bombing in Afghanistan on Jan 15.
Vogt, 46, has won Emmy Awards and has covered many armed conflicts.
Woodruff , 44, is the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight. He has reported from many places in Iraq.
Woodruff has four children, and Vogt three.
Vogt, based in France, worked for the CBC and other broadcasters before taking a contract with ABC.
As a freelancer, he had to take the work available, and Iraq is where the news is, Kelly said.
ping to 452. Somebody else had requested updates, yet I do not remember who it was.
Thanks for posting the article. For the sake of their children I do pray for their recovery!
