"Injury List" is the eleventh episode of the fourth season of the American sports drama television series Friday Night Lights, inspired by the 1990 nonfiction book by H. G. Bissinger.
It features a set of characters, primarily connected to Coach Eric Taylor, his wife Tami, and their daughter Julie.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 3.49 million household viewers and gained a 1.0/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Tim (Taylor Kitsch) buys the open field, and decides to take Becky (Madison Burge) and Cheryl (Alicia Witt) out to celebrate.
Matt admits he screwed up very bad and apologizes, telling her he misses her, but Julie is too angry and refuses to forgive him, hanging up again.
Tami (Connie Britton) is confronted by Luke's parents, as they feel she influenced Becky in getting an abortion, and they object to the board for her behavior.
Luke gets into an argument with his mother over her meeting, and then leaves to get Oxycontin from local drug dealers, unaware that Dallas is watching him.
"[6] Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Don't get me wrong, I love Friday Night Lights and I'm completely absorbed in the way Coach Eric is grappling with the challenge of building the Lions up from the ground.
But with the East vs. West Dillon game coming up, and all the big, unsettling developments of 'Injury List,' it's impossible to not realize that the end of the season is barreling towards all our characters like a freight train.
"[8] Allison Waldman of TV Squad wrote, "This was a rough episode of Friday Night Lights, filled with frustrating actions, characters doing things that make you want to yell at the screen, situations that shouldn't be happening at all.
