Heyman also just tweeted that Fernando Nieve has a tear in his quadriceps muscle.

We already knew he was heading to the DL, as Cory Sullivan is en route to D.C. as I write this, but no one knew how bad the injury was.

I really feel bad for Nieve.  He was getting a chance and making the most of it.  And now he’s down with an serious injury.
