If Hall was hurt this badly, why the hell did he play so much in the UGA game?

Let's go back thru the timeline.....

--- He started and was playing well early in the Purdue game... dropped one potential deep ball TD, was overthrown on another one, and caught one but got tackled before he could score.
--- Then he sat for most of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th quarters with what was reported on the radio broadcast as an injury.
--- Purdue ties the game up and suddenly, Hall is back out there for Mizzou's final drive, and he even makes a big play, turns a short comeback route into a 25-yd gain that put MU in FG range.
--- Then we get to the UGA game, where he started and played most of the game, but didn't look anything like himself and I don't recall him having more than 2 or 3 balls thrown his way.
--- Now, with an extra bye week thrown in, we find out Hall is too hurt to play... What I wanna know is when did he become too hurt to play?
--- Was it when he sat for most of the Purdue game but came back in once Purdue tied it up late?
--- Was it in the practices leading up to the UGA game?
--- Was it during the UGA game?
--- Was it during the bye week when he should've been resting what sure seemed like an injury from the previous two games?
--- And if he was hurt during the UGA game, why was he still out there so much?
--- We've got a pretty nice crew of young receivers on this team and I know none of them is quite the deep ball threat Emanuel Hall is when he's healthy, but dammit, he wasn't healthy. And that was a winnable game, if we weren't playing 10 against 11 on offense... What the hell? What the hell?
--- Wide receiver is the easiest position to replace on the field... Even if u're losing the top deep ball threat in the country, u can still find guys that can do other things... Hell, I've been saying for 2 yrs now the reason Demetrios Mason started over Emanuel Hall is b/c running deep routes is the only thing Hall is consistently good at... Mason had an attitude problem but he could run every route... So Emanuel Hall is not Julio Jones or AJ Green... So why the hell was he out there so much if he was too hurt to do anything?
