FB Eric Stevens Sustains "Significant" Leg Injury, WR Jackson Bouza Breaks Finger

JO reports that Stevens had to be helped off the field after a serious leg injury. Stevens was atop the depth chart, followed by Will Kapp and John Tyndall. We'll probably get more details later tonight and tomorrow.

UPDATE: Jackson Bouza (who'd been performing well in camp) broke his finger and will require surgery. Alejandro Crosthwaite suffered a stinger after getting blown up by Mustafa Jalil on an offside call. Jason Gibson suffered a high ankle sprain.

Crap

This is a significant blow given that Stevens was the clear #1 at a position that is integral to good performance on the ground (which we NEED badly this year).

Say it like Ron Burgandy signing off: "Stay Classy, Bears!"

Worst news of the camp so far

Isi or Bigelow, they definitely need an experienced lead blocker…

This can't be good.

Did we recruit a fullback this year?

Update from Ryan Gorcey:

Stevens was injured on the pick by mccain. Unstable knee. Not in a lot of pain. Took ice bath and was walking around.

Alright, and after it's all over, you say "Ooh, what a lovely tea party"

Well, that sounds like better news.

Keeping January 2 open. You know, just in case.

Rub some dirt on it.

Stevens

trainers were trying to stretch out on the sideline right after it happened – hopefully he’s ok

on the other hand, mccain had another great day (more on that later)

TERRIBLE NEWS!!! Hope it isn't bad for Gibson and we need FBs!!!

Crosthwaite and Jalil both went to the same HS in San Diego didn’t they, with Crosthwaite being a year older.

Bring back the Pac-10!!!

Then, I’ll make a big ruckus, because I am a hypocritical asshole.

Very unfortunate news

Not only is Stevens a vital part of the football team, he seems like a good dude (I sat next to him in a history class last year, and in our limited interactions he seemed very humble, friendly, and down to earth). I hope he gets better very soon.
