A 'bowel' injury is not the every day injury one suffers on the football field and is sounds as unpleasant as it the actual injury itself. Arkansas tailback/returner Dennis Johnson suffered the injury when he fell and landed on the ball. The event had Johnson throwing up on the sideline and eventually required surgery:
"... When he came off the field, our strength and conditioning coach, (Jason) Veltkamp said he talked about falling on the ball and landing on the ball. Initially thought it was a rib injury. But that was not the case. When we were out on the field, in the locker room, toward the end of the game, he started throwing up and then they knew it wasn’t a rib injury and got him to the hospital."
Landing on the ball caused him to throw up and go to the hospital; that had to have been unpleasant.
What is even more concerning is that there is not even a time table for his return:
"We're not even thinking about timetables for his return right now," [Bobby] Petrino said. "We're just thinking about his health. Hopefully he'll improve. He's doing well. He was up walking, they've got him up walking. He's very, very sore from the surgery. We're encouraged by everything the doctors are telling us on how he's doing health wise."
The injury was so bad that initially it was initially thought to be a rib injury, and this bowel injury is now being referred to as the 'new worst football injury':
Now, it should be noted that technically, any part of the large intestine could be considered the "bowel," and the large intestine stretches higher than the waistline. So that, combined with the fact that the S&C coach thought it was a rib injury (there's no ribs down there, after all), could mean that Johnson's injury was far removed from the worst imaginable place to receive an injury.
Ouch!
Besides being a very painful injury, that has to be one of the most bizarre injuries to have ever been suffered on the football field.

It happened during the game last Saturday. I heard a rumor that a rib was broken and punctured the bowel. Ouch. He was our best running back, too.

You guys are so loaded you didn't even need Dyer, so this shouldn't be a problem, right?

We're only 4 deep now. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Dennis is a good kid, buys his own laptops, pays for his own fishing trips, etc. Sucks that he is out on a freakish injury like this.

Yes, but can he text a death threat to his baby mama while swerving through rush hour traffic in his booster provided Dodge Charger on the way to an agents party in South Beach with a glove box full of toot?

Our kids are amateurs. Not seasoned Tuscaloosa pros.
They get busted doing toot on Dickson when their careers are over.
