word on the street is Ben had his leg rolled over by big Max. Supposedly limping off the field in a lot of pain . Nothing like a last day of training camp to send shivers.

Secondary reports indicate that the injury may not be that serious - but the picture painted on the radio were not that good. At least he is walking.
