Matthew Slater looks like he may have dodged a severe injury

There was lots of concern for special teams captain Matthew Slater after the Indy game on Sunday given he needed to be helped from the field with an apparent knee injury, and was later carted past reporters after the game.

While Slater did stand at his locker, he didn't move much, and it was clearly a struggle following the win.

Today, he looked much better. He walked without a noticeable limp, and wasn't aided by crutches. He declined an interview request by the media, but based on appearances alone, this doesn't appear to be a serious issue, or one that would keep Slater out a long period of time, which was at first feared.
