Sampson strains calf muscle?

Anyone else hear that this is why he left the game?  One of the afternoon sports radio stations blurbed it, but I haven't heard or seen anything else about it.

Garner made a comment about it in the post-game. Said that they were being cautious so as not to "blow him up."

Thanks, I just wasn't sure if there was any info on how serious it was thought to be.  Hopefully, not.
