Oftentimes, players are carted off the field as a precaution. Also, what's the purpose of forcing the player to limp hundreds of yards off the practice field to get his injury checked out?
“It doesn’t appear to be anything serious,” Mora said about Spencer’s injury. “Fortunately it wasn’t his knee. Early indications are that it’s not a high ankle sprain. However, until you get the doctors in there examining them and give it some time to settle down you can’t really tell. But hopefully it’s nothing serious.”
Spencer will be a vital component to Seattle's success on the line this season, as he is the only center with full seasons of experience. His offseason workouts had also impressed GM Tim Ruskell, awarding Spencer a "gold star" for his offseason training.
Backup center Steve Vallos filled in when Spencer left the field.
