Since your sentence is missing a verb, it could be either. Perhaps it is both.

Fouled and injured are both past tense. The subject of your sentence, B1, has both verbs attributed to it. A1 is the object of the sentence. Your use of 'and' is a preposition linking the two verbs.

Sheesh. I jumped back in and saw this thread had exploded. Thought maybe I'd missed something and Jurassic had scolded me or something.
