Ballard may need surgery, but, docs need to wait a few days for the swelling to subside.

Martin will not be suspended, for reasons outlined by Michael Ru so:

As of now, no Matt Martin hearing re:Ballard hit; likely reason: on boarding, if NFL Arizona Cardinals Jerseys you turn prior to contact, onus changes. (1/2)

(2/2) In other words, when Ballard turned to dodge the check (understandable), it's viewed as leading to incident/injury.
