Story is moving on google news wire. I watched most of the game and didn't think he took that many hits, but he did land very hard on his back on the TD run. Sad news.

#3Turned out he had surgery for a ruptured spleen. He's currently in stable condition in a FL. hospital.
What really amazed me about this injury, is the fact he played thru it. You gotta give that kid credit for playing thru that pain.Comment -

#4Hopefully he makes a quick recovery, it is never good to hear news like that.
I didn't see the game but it seems like he got beat up pretty bad. That kid is strong for sticking in there like that.Comment -

#6I remember back in the early-mid 90s when this happened to Brett Hull.
It's no joke when that happens.... Your window to live is almost nothing.
Thank god he got the best treatment possible. It's scary he kept playing in the game (I thought he was dehydrated or something - like most people).
I hope he recovers and to hell with how it impacts Tampa - I'm just happy, as a huge fan of the NFL, that he is OK.Comment -

#9Bucs have been cursed this year. If Simm's injury wasn't enough now the team will be under scrutiny for letting him continue to play with a life-threatening injury. Not saying they're at fault but you know people like to point fingers.I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomyComment -

#10i don't see how the team could be under scrutiny for letting him play! It is not like they knew that he ruptured his spleen and let him keep playing.
Get well Chris!Comment -
