Perhaps even more gruesome than the final score of Portland State's season-opening 81-7 loss to Oregon was the injury one Vikings player suffered during the game.

On Tuesday's edition of "The Bald Faced Truth" podcast, Portland State coach Bruce Barnum told host John Canzano that his team avoided any major injuries – except for one unnamed player who had "his ear ripped off."

Wait. What?

Not his entire ear, Barnum quickly clarified. "They sewed it back on, and now they say he has a concussion."

When asked how the injury happened, Barnum said he believed it came when the player had his helmet knocked off "and I think his ear didn't come out of his helmet."

The injured player will not take part in the Vikings' next game this Saturday when they travel to face Wyoming.

"He's out," Barnum said, "but I think he's fine."
