Line judge Gary Arthur wasn’t able to finish yesterday’s Ravens-Broncos game after taking a hard shot during a punt in the first quarter.

And it doesn’t sound like he’s going to be working any time soon, either.

A league source tells PFT that Arthur remains hospitalized in Denver, and suffered nine broken ribs and a collapsed lung in the collision.

That’s far worse than the broken collarbone which was reported during the CBS broadcast, and underscores the danger these guys are in while trying to direct traffic among 22 players destined for a high-speed collision on every play.
