A little late getting to this game today and already Brodie Croyle is
out of the game. Croyle got hit in a what didn't look like a bad
hit....Croyle ended up hobbling into the locker room with what has been
said as a "sprained knee".
Larry Johnson has been suspended for this game due to missing a team meeting. Damon Huard has taken over in the 2nd quarter.
