Chargers' Inman shows 'encouraging' progress after scary neck injury
Dontrelle Inman lay motionless on the Qualcomm Stadium turf for seven scary minutes.
It took even longer for the team to know their receiver's prognosis. They're calling it a neck injury now -- but claim it's not the catastrophic kind that fans feared when Inman left Sunday's Chargers-Broncos game on a cart.
Inman showed 'encouraging progress' and movement in all extremities, according to head coach Mike McCoy via U-T San Diego's Michael Gelhken.
The hit that forced Inman out wasn't even flagged. But Broncos safety David Bruton might hear from the league offices about his first quarter, helmet-to-helmet collision with Inman.
The injury left San Diego with only three healthy receivers. They'll hope Inman can return eventually to make it four again.
