Bucs announcers say

he was “escorted” to the clubhouse by Weinberg. Better than “carried” or “helped” to the clubhouse. Probably a turn; might not be bad … but then again, it might.

he walked off the field

and i saw the replay, he twisted his ankle, nothing to worry about.

i would say he limped off the field

with the injury “luck” the Birds have, i’ll believe he’s OK when i see it with my own eyes

Ankle twists

don’t mean the same thing for a pro athlete’s body as for ours. Lots more muscle mass attached to those tendons! He’s probably not hurt too badly … but …
