No doubt

From my understanding stingers aren't too serious but I don't know how often guys get carted off for them. Hopefully everything was just extremely precautionary and he'll be back soon

Stingers in themselves are not bad.

What causes a stinger can sometimes cause other damage that is hard to initially diagnose due to the patient's lack of feeling and movement.

Still, it did not look like a crippling his, so maybe this works out as good as possible for Ryan.

ETA: By bad, I mean in terms of long-term prognosis. It clearly sucks in the short-term.

Don't know if anyone else is watching Pels post game but the girl (don't know her name) just said in regards to Ryno "he's fine and should return tomorrow"

I don't want to get any hopes up too soon but anyone else hear that or can confirm it?

Yea I used to get stingers a lot in high school in football games

They're not fun, but nothing serious. I would always just sort of come out for a few plays and come back in again and be alright

I think they were just being extra careful

Honestly I was more concerned about the whiplash and his neck than anything stinger-related. His neck snapped really hard on contact.

Yeah I'm sure he'll be pretty sore but at least he didn't hit his head

Trainer explains a cervical stinger is an injury to nerves in neck or shoulder that cause burning or "stinging"....

If it is just a stinger and no complications then he should be fine. In jr high, Steven Ridley hit like a some of a gun on a kick off return and my helmet flew back and hit me in the neck. I had a cervical stinger and I was back in full pads at practice 4 days later.

Ryan Anderson stayed in Boston overnight Friday following a collision with Boston’s Gerald Wallace. We expect an update on Anderson’s status later today.

I can only hope that the stay overnight was because movement would delay the healing process. Although Indy on the road on the 2nd night of a back to back, there probably isn't much reason for Ryno to rush back tonight anyway.
