Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner gave fans quite a scare Week 15 in Carolina when he went down on the field after a play in the fourth quarter. Able to walk off to sidelines under his own power, Wagner was then held out for the remainder of the ball game.
“I definitely was scared, but I’m good,” Wagner told reporters in the locker room. “The doctor said that if everybody goes out and votes for me for Man of the Year that it will be better. That’s what he said.”
After the win, coach Pete Carroll confirmed Wagner had sprained his ankle.
“I felt like I probably slipped a little, but then he hit me in my side and my back,” Wagner explained. “My leg kind of got caught underneath. I’ll be fine.”
Carroll provided an update on Wagner’s status during his Monday morning radio show on 710 ESPN Seattle.
“Bobby is going to try to ignore this as an injury,” Carroll said. “He doesn’t think it’s going to be a factor, but we’ll see.”
Quandre Diggs, however, may not be as fortunate. Carroll confirmed the safety suffered a high ankle sprain and could be sidelined for the near future.
