Injury Blue Healers - No Discussion Injury Thread

[The Old Dark Navy's]

This thread is a stand alone thread for posting news about player injuries. Please do not post discussion about injuries in here. The original Blue Healers thread will become the free for all discussion thread.

The reason for this is to be able to track injury stories easier, and to avoid unnecessary stress when the injury thread gets bumped and notifications go out.

When this thread is bumped, mods will update the title to reflect what the latest news is about. If you are unsure whether something belongs in this thread or the discussion thread, post it in the discussion thread and tag a mod(s) so they can make a decision.
