Concussion could make you want to keep them out of the lights and the noise though. (Just thinking out loud)I've seen guys out on crutches with ice on their knees or ankles. Usually, especially with a team leader, it's best if they're at least on the bench.
It could be ribs but they'll normally wrap them after ice, I thought. I might be wrong about that these days.
Edit: just saw the transport. Prayers.
