Nick Wey – Hematoma
Comment: A big crash in Indianapolis left Nick Wey with a hematoma and three tears in his adductor and low abdominal muscles. After taking Houston off, Wey plans to return to racing in New Orleans.

Josh Hill - Broken Elbow
Comment: Josh Hill was scheduled to return to racing in Houston, but a broken radial head in his elbow changed his plans. Hill is not expected to enter any races before the end of the season.

Ryan Dungey - Broken Collarbone
Comment: Dungey underwent surgery to repair the damage sustained in a crash prior to St. Louis. Dungey was scheduled to be back on the bike this week, and depending things go, will make a decision on whether or not he will return to supercross before the season ends.

Kyle Partridge - Cut Foot, Broken Toe and Broken C3 and C4 Vertebrae

Ben LaMay - Concussion and Fractured Right Hand
Comment: LaMay crashed hard in his heat race in St. Louis, prompting a red flag. LaMay is scheduled to race in New Orleans.

Tyla Rattray
Comment: Rattray suffered a concussion and a fractured C-7 vertebrae in his heat race in Oakland. Rattray’s bone has not yet healed, and so far he has been unable to get back on the bike. At this point, it is unlikely that he will compete in any of the remaining supercross races.
