Anyone hear anything on Boldin? I'm genuinely worried... he could be really seriously injured. Even seeing Washington score on Dallas isn't fun right now.

From NFL.com  Smiley Get well soon, Anquan.

News
Boldin has movement in all extremities
Posted: News | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets

Anquan Boldin, Arizona’s Pro Bowl WR, was taken off the field on a stretcher after a scary collision.

Boldin was moving all his extremities on the field and was talking to his teammates coming off the field and going into the locker room. He was being taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons.

“He’s alert,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “He’s talking and moving all his extremities. He asked to get up and the doctors won’t let him.”

Late in the fourth quarter, Boldin went airborne attempting to catch a touchdown pass, but was hit from behind from Jets FS Kerry Rhodes, causing his head to snap forward, and then — almost simultaneously — was hit in the front by SS Eric Smith and Boldin’s head snapped backwards.

Both Boldin and Smith were on the ground for a while. Smith eventually got up, but Boldin stayed down not moving, as both teams gathered in a circle close by. Boldin eventually had his head immobilized, was put on a stretcher and taken off the field.

I don't think a suspension was warranted. Sorry, but while he did lead with his helmet, he was clearly looking to make a play, not injure Boldin. I really think this is a case of the penalty coming down solely because Boldin went limp like that. Had he gotten up, the Jets player would have gotten off with a fine.

There are so many cases of these hits and, while the outcome looked sick, there was nothing unique about it. If you're going to crack down on these leading with the helmet hits, then you really need to do it across the board. This is for show, nothing else.
