Paranoia - Could Ivory be banged up?

Ok, let me begin by saying if you've ever seen me post, you know I don't buy into any of the paranoia that goes on around here. I don't freak out, and I don't think of ways things can go bad.

However, after I read this positive article from Duncan about Ivory, a part of it made me wonder something.

Chris Ivory's 56-yard tour de force fueled New Orleans Saints upset - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com

Here's the quote I'll be discussing.

Ivory led a revitalized Saints rushing attack with 72 yards on seven carries. He averaged 10.6 yards in his eight touches.

But he didn't stick around to bask in the glory. He was one of the first ones out of the locker room after showering and dressing. For unknown reasons, he was excluded from the roster of team-selected players paraded to the post-game interview podium.

By the time reporters entered the locker room for interviews, Ivory's locker was empty. So his teammates spoke for him.

Here's my paranoia. Is Ivory hurt? The Saints are big on saying nothing about injuries and keeping things a secret until Wednesday when the league mandates they have to report injury news. Look at Sproles. No one had any idea he broke his hand he had "family / personal issues" and was excused from practice. Then, Wednesday hits and "oh yeah, he had hand surgery one one of his hands 50/50 shot as to which one".

My hope is that it's all about Ivory being humble and just didn't want a lot of attention, but I have a weird feeling about this.

Sorry for pushing the "panic" button, but if anyone has any janitor friends, it would be a good time to ask around.

Ok, flame away.
