Injury Report: Updated 9/30/08

	PBR - Beau Hill Beau Hill (West Glacier, Mont.) suffered probable broken ribs and a possible lung injury after riding the bull Lights Out (Chad Berger/Clay Struve). He was transported to the hospital for further observation and is questionable for next weekend's event in Cincinnati.

	PBR - Austin Meier Austin Meier (Kinta, Okla.) strained his hamstring and will take the next two weeks off from competition.

	PBR - L.J. Jenkins L.J. Jenkins (Texico, N.M.) had surgery on Wednesday to repair the broken collarbone he suffered in Jacksonville. He is trying to return to competition at the 2008 World Finals.

	PBR - Mike White Mike White (De Kalb, Texas) suffered a sprained right hip after being bucked off the bull, The Breeze (Chad Berger/Clay Struve). He will take the next week off from competition.

	PBR - Brendon Clark Brendon has returned from a knee injury only to tear a ligament in his riding hand at a Challenger event in Oregon. He will be out of competition for three to five weeks.

	PBR - Scott Schiffner Scott Schiffner sustained a concussion when his bull hit him with his head and threw him to the ground. Scott is questionable for Oakland.

	Dodge Xtreme Bulls - Wesley Silcox Wesley Silcox fractured his leg in two places at the Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour event in Bremerton, Wash. Silcox broke his leg just above the right ankle after he was stepped on during the final round at Bremerton. A steel rod was inserted into his injured leg during surgery. It is estimated that he will be sidelined for at least eight weeks, but will likely return in time for the National Finals Rodeo in December.

	PBR - Brian Canter Brian Canter had a six to seven-inch gash to the back of his head and several other smaller lacerations as a result of being kicked in the head by his bull in the fouth round of the Team Shootout in Paso Robles, CA. Following several tests which showed no further injuries to his neck or spinal cord, skull fractures, or swelling of the brain, the fourth-year veteran underwent surgery, at which time doctors reset a broken jaw, inserted a plate, and wired his jaw shut for what is expected to be a six to eight-week period. Canter is out of competition indefinitely.

	PBR - Chris Shivers Chris Shivers underwent surgery July 23 in Dallas for symptoms related to a herniated disc in his neck. Dr. Drew Dossett performed the procedure to remove the damaged disc and fuse the 5th and 6th cervical vertebrae with a bone graft and plate and screws. Chris will be out for at least 3 months and his participatation in the PBR Finals in November is questionable.

	PBR - D.J. Domangue D. J. Domangue continues to recover from a broken femur. It was not a clean break and instead was what D.J. called a "sprial fracture" and the bone was cracked in four places. He is beginning to regain his strength, but it is likely that he will be out for the rest of the season. "Only time will tell," he said. "Everyday it's getting better. I think the (hip) screw is what's bothering me."

	PBR - Paulo Crimber As planned, Paulo Crimber was taken out of the neck brace that he has been required to wear since surgery. His status for returning to bull riding remains doubtful.

	PBR - Sinovaldo Correia Sinovaldo Correia was diagnosed with a hip pointer after being bucked off Mr. Zantrex in Round One of the Tulsa BFTS event. As of July 24, Sinovaldo is healthy and able to compete, however, he has returned to Brazil.

	PBR - Greg Potter Greg Potter is recovering from surgey to repair a torn right rotastor cuff. He is expected to be out for the remainder of the 2008 season.
