During Sunday’s game between the Panthers and the Bucs, Tampa running back LeGarrette Blount seemed to be injured.

The specific injury wasn’t clear. As the video shows, he seemed to be wobbly and he seemed to be woozy and he landed on the ground and he grabbed his knee. He then left the game and didn’t return.

It almost looked like he was feeling the potential effects of a concussion and opted to grab his knee in order to throw off the trainers or anyone else who may keep him from returning. But he ultimately didn’t return.

According to Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times, the team says Blount wasn’t injured. Still, there was no sign of him following the non-injury injury.

After the game, Blount was long gone from the locker room before the media had a chance to conduct interviews. He finished with eight yards on three carries.
