It’s clear to anyone with eyes that Naylor was in an immense amount of pain as soon as he collided with Clement and the situation become substantially worse once he landed awkwardly.
Oh man…. Josh Naylor just had a nasty collision and is in incredible pain.

Hopefully, he’s able to bounce back quickly, but I’m not holding my breath for that to happen. The fact he has a broken bone is a pretty good sign that he’ll be out for a substantial amount of time.
We all know bones don’t exactly heal up over the course of a few days.
