Center Maurkice Pouncey returned to practice on Thursday after battling a stomach virus that caused him to lose 12 pounds.

“It was terrible,” said Pouncey. “I had a big-time stomach virus and you know what that leads to. I couldn’t stop using the rest room. I lost a lot of weight, but I am back fine now.”

Pouncey, who practiced on a limited basis, started the Kansas City game but left early due to the virus symptoms.

“I was having dry heaves,” said Pouncey of how he felt during the game. “Every time I tried to get to the ball I kept on trying to throw up. When I got to the locker room my stomach was cramping up real bad. They gave me a lot of good medicine to help me out.”

Before he could make it to the locker room, though, Pouncey did get sick on the field.

“My body was weak and I just couldn’t handle it anymore,” he said. “I was on the sidelines gagging and stuff. I did throw up right on the field. I don’t think anyone saw it. It was during a time out. I was walking toward the huddle when it happened.

“It stinks. I hope it never happens to me or anybody.”

This reminds me of an interview I saw with Mark Schereth(sp?). He was talking about standing in the huddle and peeing in his pants. He basically said my whole body hurts I'm not going to hold this for the next 2 hours.

Don't let Goodell hear about this.

He'll be getting a hefty fine from the league for endangering "player safety". Somebody could have run out of the tunnel, slipped on his puke, and blown out their Achilles.

Unsportsmanlike puking? Lucky he didn't poop himself. Goodell would have called a forefit.

Wouldn't that be a "foreshit"?
