The Facts: Darkwa, who left Sunday's game against the Saints early, said after the contest he'd be fine, but was also clearly in serious discomfort and walked slowly and stiffly out of the locker room.

Diehards Line: Darkwa played one offensive series in the contest and had success. He didn't get another carry after being stuffed near the goal line early in the second quarter. It was on that play that he injured his back. We'll follow up in coming days.
