He didn’t survive the ground as they like to say. He caught it and would have kept possession sans injury. As it was, when he hit the ground the ball got dislodged. It’s just not a catch with the rules today. I’m actually not against it either. I’d prefer this version than allowing anyone with two hands on the ball to be considered in possession. Same with the bobbles going out of bounds. Make it a requirement that they have it firmly before granting possession.
