Jalen Smith

I was assuming that he just did that stumbling thing that happens when you try to hit the jets and your body doesn’t want to cooperate. I was yelling at the TV as it looked so similar to what cost us the game against the Steelers when it happened to Addison. Hopefully not a hamstring, but hadn’t really thought about that.
 










You can see a full replay of that specific play at around 9:11 of this video.


Could be nothing, but if it was something I wonder if it is a hip flexor? Or a cramp of something?

Usually with hamstrings, it’s instant pain and the player goes down and grabs it. He had a hitch in his gait and then after was running noticeably slower. He then stayed on the ground after getting tackled and rolled over onto his stomach.

I was watching what he would do after that play- he first appeared like he was going to stay in the game, but r then got called off the field. If he had a hamstring, he would have voluntarily taken himself out and wouldn’t have been able to jog off the field.
 



Seems much like Tyler Johnson as a freshman with a capacity to make plays but needing experience and strength. My son and I went to Lincoln in 2016 and Johnson had a catch & run of about 30-40 yards but he was caught from behind. We agreed: give Johnson a couple years and he’ll finish plays with touchdowns—as will Smith, eventually.
