Did Orseske get injured?

Since he didn't come back out later in the game after the blocked punt, I'm assume that Orseske was injured on the play. He can't possibly be blamed for the block... that guy was in there so fast that nobody could have gotten the kick off in time.

It's quite possible. He was on crutches in the 2nd half.

Last I heard

it was just a bruise. But you never know.

I looked at the play-by-play states and it shows that we only punted once in the 2nd half (and turned it over on downs once). The punt was a 31-yarder by David Schwerman.

I suppose we'll find out at Wednesday's press conference if Orseke will be playing on Saturday.
