Perhaps the term upper body injury would suffice

While we imagine it's a painful thing to have happen to you and most likely wasn't an enjoyable thing to endure during the game, getting listed in the post game injury notes perhaps isn't what Pierre Luc Labbe will want to remember from Friday night's loss to the Alouettes.

Linebacker Pierre-Luc Labbe suffered a dislocated right pinkie on special teams but did his best to play through the pain.

That one line report in the Winnipeg Sun will no doubt be posted prominently in the Bomber locker room until they next take the field in a few weeks time.

Especially, considering the near decapitation that QB Alex Brink suffered on the missed call in the fourth quarter, which saw Als linebacker Rod Davis go unpunished for what most in the stadium and watching on TV would consider as blatant a head shot as we've seen this year.

The Bombers in particular were a little annoyed that the Davis hit wasn't called, when they have been penalized on similar plays in the past.

Still credit the Blue for full disclosure on the injury list, if Chris Walby were still handing out Walby's Warrior awards, we imagine the nominations from his team mates would be coming in for Pierre Luc,  good natured fodder for some tough times for the Blue Bombers these days.
