Mostert scores first NFL TD, fractures arm

[Born Boiler]

The Big Ten’s fastest man of 2014 couldn’t outpace 2018’s run of bad luck for Boilers in the NFL.

Minutes after scoring his first pro touchdown -- on a 53-yard run against Coach Chucky’s hapless Raiders -- Raheem Mostert added a few more runs for the 49ers to pad his career-best game to 86 yards rushing on seven carries.

But, on the last one, he suffered a gruesome arm injury on a bad landing, screaming loud and needing assistance to get off the field after a timeout while players kneeled. His arm was immediately placed in a brace.

He’ll join Allen and Bentley as Boilers on the IR this year.

That’s awful. I saw upto his TD and said it was great to see him having a good game. Just too bad

Sounds like a compound fracture, but can an RB play in lower cast?

It is on youtube and it is bad. Not for the weak stomach to watch

It is too bad. He really was starting to put together a good year.

I was watching it live. You could hear him scream on live TV. I'd be shocked if he didn't break both bones in his forearm. No way he comes back this year.

As for question on RBs and cast - a cast for an arm would go from near elbow to wrap around the thumb. RB couldn't play like that.

I actually picked him up on my fantasy team this week too.
