| Injury Update |
|
During last week's game, a Mississippi Brilla player was injured. We have received word that the player, Michael Brown, broke his leg in two places. He has had surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
"The tackle that broke Michael Brown's leg was a fair tackle," said Jesters' head coach Kenny Farrell. "We do everything we can to prevent injuries, but sometimes in the course of a game they are impossible to avoid. Our medical team did a good job at ensuring Mr. Brown makes a full recovery. All of the Jesters wish Mr. Brown a speedy return." |
