Did he fall or hit something at practice? If so, I would expect someone in the gathered media would have seen that and reported it.
I rewatched the play, and Russell didn't land any big haymakers to Burrow's ribs (or at all). Burrows landed shoulder/back side down they flipped over but don't see anything out of the ordinary. The biggest contact was probably when his ribs hit the boards when he tried to lay out Johnny from behind? Sucks to see, you never want to see someone get hurt when they are hitting someone from behind.
