Good story. Relieved this isn't a new injury report too the way it's been going.

What exactly happened?

Was he just running around normally when this happened, or was it a "hard" plant and turn or something? If it wasn't some kind of abnormal plant and move, then how can something like this happen to a young healthy guy? Are we to assume that he maybe had a lingering "hairline crack" from some other incident, and that it finally gave out during "normal" movement?

Stoudt threw the ball too low and hit him in the leg. Much like the throw he made to Leggett in the endzone.

It is surprising he knew he did it.
I broke mine at some point and would have never known it if not for a knee injury later. They took Xrays of my knee and lower leg, then the Dr came in and said "You didn't list your broken fibula on your injury history. When did you break it?" I was like "I have never broken my fibula." The Dr said "yes you have. It's healed now, but it has been broken." When I told friends about it later two different people had similar stories.

A leg may be broken but the bones not separated, it will heal fairly quickly in that case, the fibula is not load bearing, but it is part of stability control.
