It wasn't the scare anybody needed to experience – running back Johri Fogerson laying on the turf at Husky Stadium, moving very little with trainers coming to his aid.
After the team went to an overtime scrimmage in its final period, Fogerson got loose on the first play with the second-team unit, and immediately pulled up right after he crossed the 10-yard line. He went down immediately.
Trainers examined his right foot, and a minute later, he got up and limped off under his own power.
Coach Steve Sarkisian said it was nothing more than a rolled ankle.
Tacoma's own Isaiah Thomas has been included among 50 preseason candidates for the 2009-10 John R. Wooden Award All-American Team and Player of the Year trophy.
Thomas, who played at Curtis High School before moving to the Kent prep school in Connecticut, will be a sophomore at the University of Washington.
"I'm really honored," Thomas said through a UW press release. "This is a blessing from God to be on such a list with 50 of the best college players in the nation."

The observation decks throughout Husky Stadium weren't for the faint at heart Wednesday morning as the UW team, fresh off its first training-camp scrimmage, looked flat, especially on offense.
Jake Locker was missing his targets, and appeared animated in his disgust. He just couldn't outdo coach Steve Sarkisian in that department.
Receivers were dropping easy passes. D'Andre Goodwin got an earful from his position coach, Jimmie Dougherty, on pulling out of a route near the sideline.
"We've got to find a way to get out of the mold of being convenience-catchers – when … nobody is around, it's an easy catch," Sarkisian said. "When it's contested, that is when we need to make our plays."
Running a tad late, but here are some of the other news around the Pac-10 training camps Tuesday:
ARIZONA: The frantic search for Willie Tuitama's replacement should end this week, coaches say.
ARIZONA STATE: Former Gonzaga basketball recruit is closer to seeing playing time because of injury.
CALIFORNIA: The Bears held their first full-pad scrimmage, and the starting-quarterback candidates combined for five TD passes.
OREGON: Ducks running back leaves practice for personal reasons.
OREGON STATE: Down the depth chart, Virginia quarterback transfer still finds solitude in his decision.
USC: For all those who think that the Trojans just run people in and out of the lineup – flawlessly – think again. Their touted freshman quarterback struggled.
WASHINGTON STATE: Two practices, and the defense owns the day in Pullman.
