Poor Jason Webster. That dude just can't get it together. He breaks his forearm AFTER he breaks Ko Simpson's ankle. (his teammate)

[Wizards2Lottery]

Losing Jansen is bad for the locker room. I don't think we will lose a lot of production though. The rookie filling in for him has played well above expecatations. Heyer has looked much better than he should. Hopefully he keeps it up.

[Jose7]

d'bustashaw ferguson might as well be injured, he has been a ghost throughout the preseason and the 1st game of the regular season.

[Icness]

The list grows:
Orlando Pace is indeed out for the year (mental note: my Rams guy is never wrong!)
Eli Manning out 4-6 weeks
Bears DT Dusty Dvoracek out for the season, which means in his two seasons he's played exactly 3 quarters.
MIA safety Yeremiah Bell out for the season, which is a huge blow

JAX brought in two kickers today, one of them Josh Huston, because Scobee is likely out 3-4 weeks. Haven't heard the results of his MRI yet.

[Jose7]

man... that orlando pace injury may be the biggest injury of all.

Dusty out for season is offical?

Damn.

[vaff87]

I'm getting confused about some of these Giants injuries. I just heard on Sirius NFL radio Eli is day-to-day, but I've also heard like what was said here, 4-6 weeks. Also, I've heard Osi Umenyoura is either out two months, or is "day-to-day". What's the deal?

08:14PM - Pennington Injury Update
September 10th, 2007 by Dan Walsh


ahhhh bad news bears!

Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News is reporting that Pennington

[jumanji]

Ray Lewis and Steve McNair didnt exactly look chipper out there at the end of that game tonight.

[J.Kim]

Whole slew of long-term injuries this week.

What's going on?

[Icness]

Ray Lewis and Steve McNair didnt exactly look chipper out there at the end of that game tonight.

I heard from a little birdie this morning that McNair might be out for a few weeks with a groin injury. Makes sense--it explains why his balls were sailing high. No pun intended.

anyone think the # of injuries are b/c of a lack of game shape or humidity in some places? b/c it seems like its a lot higher then last year, i probably thought this same thing last year as well.

[Cliff Levingston]

Few players have been unluckier than Mike Brown these last few seasons. It's a big blow to the Bears defense (once again) as Brown probably makes one of the top 3 biggest impacts on the Bears defense (along with Urlacher and Harris).

Dusty's no slouch either and was our starting nose tackle. He looked great in pre-season and now he's out for the season.

Looks like it's a matter of time before Urlacher, Harris, Briggs and Vasher go down with injuries too.

Yup, It definitely seems to be higher this year compared to last year. I don't think you can pinpoint to one specific reason though. It's definitely flukey (the amount of significant injuries in week 1)
