Did Greg Eisworth get dinged up?

Campbell said he expected Eisworth and Nwangwu to be “fine” and it was really more precautionary to hold them out as they were obviously not needed.
When he got tackled on that kick return I thought he was done the way he went down and his leg was bent
stinger, kept him out because there was no need to get him back in there. On that note it was nice to see Anzuna play well in his absence.
Eisworth is a beast and probably our best player on defense, but IMO I think he needs some work on his tackling technique. As do about 95% of the DBs in college and pro football btw.
I'm actually surprised he hasn't been injured or knocked out a lot more than he has. Against UNI he knocked Briley Moore out of the game, and nearly himself too. I was hoping yesterday that he didn't break his collar bone or something. He just tries to knock people out by leading with his shoulder, and often times doesn't have his head up and doesn't wrap up either. But like I said, everyone does that nowadays, but it's so dangerous.
Reminds me a lot of Bob Sanders that way, but we all saw how long Sanders lasted playing like that.
Don't get me wrong, like I said, Eisworth is usually the best defensive player on the field in every game he plays.... I just worry about his health and we need him BADLY!

Azunna was dominant. So encouraged by the depth we have.
Yeah, Azunna was crazy good yesterday. Excited about that. He is a rs Jr now though, so it's definitely his time to shine.
Azunna phenomenal yesterday. Was glad to see someone come in and not lose a beat when Greg went down.
