I heard it was just a tendon snap, not a bone. He went to the hospital last night, never heard after that.

RJ has a fracture in the top of his elbow.
He does have some muscle and ligament damage. He is on his way home to see an orthopedic surgeon. I will keep you posted.
Please keep him in your prayers.

He actually just called me about 10 minutes ago. Denise summed it up pretty well. He's in a sling right now, but he's still not exactly sure what's damaged.
He just made it home & said once the swelling goes down, he needs a MRI.
RJ definitely seemed in good spirits though, and said it's now time to get his LEFT arm ready!!
I'll keep everyone posted once his results are in...

If RJ snapped something he must have laid one hell of a hit on somebody. And they must have laid one hell of stop back on him. Brutal!

Guys,
RJ was pulling Matt Harris at the time of his accident, his arm was fully extended and his body was below the table. When Matt forced down on his arm, something snapped! I keep the information coming as I hear it from RJ. He will be seing an orthopedist tomorrow to see what needs to be done.

Anyone can break an arm like that !! I always worry about that happening whenever someone is pulling with that style. I seen film of RJ and he seems to do that more the last few tournaments, where he didnt seem to in the past as much or at all. Wish Rj a speedy recovery ! |

RJ looked very strong at this tournament, it's really too bad he got hurt. It was horrible when it happened and he fell down. I wish him a speedy recovery.
