If he is lucky it is nothing more than a bruise but don't automatically assume that just because he walked off the field that he wasn't dealing with a potentially serious injury.
Throat injuries are ones you don't fool around with.  

The head first dive was silly and he must stop doing that or else learn a hard lesson that none of us want to see. 

But I thought it probably happened after his bonehead INT to start the overtime. Because he came in and impressively made an aggressive tackle  but I was immediately worried about him leading with his head and shoulder and thought he may have even hurt his shoulder on play. 

Showed a lot of heart making tackle after INT but really don't want to see him tackling in this aggressive manner.
Yet it very well may have saved a game winning TD. 

Even though I made no jokes, don't think anyone was joking about injury but was correlating it with some play on the field. 

Agree with others that it should be saved until after we know the severity of it. 

Get well soon Joe, we need you brother.
