Tom managed to make to the bench and after consultation with the team Doctor, who was also suggering from a rib injury,

Medical test after the game confirmed that Tom suffered multiple fractured ribs, and was immediatelty placed on injured reserve. Additional tests are expected, but the best guess is Tom will not return until the March 22nd game versus the Mayhem.

In a seperate occurence, Dr. James re-injured an existing rib injury from last weeks game, and his status has been placed on a "game by game" basis.
