[quote=scowan;930717]Is it me, or are there just a ton of injuries to this team this year before they have even played their 2nd preseason game? The Washington Redskins = The Washington Wounded[/quote]

I'll take the injuries now and not by week 4 of the regular season as was the case last year.

[quote=Mattyk;930720]Injuries all over the league, plenty of teams are worse off.

You have to take them with a grain of salt too. If this was the regular season a lot of these guys would still be ready to play come Sunday. This time of year teams play it safe and sit guys out.[/quote]

Matty, I hear you, but I'm about to agree with the players. Knock it down to 2 preseason games to get the rust out and figure out who to keep from these other 40+ guys in camp based on practice and scheduled scrimmages with other teams where certian types of hitting or rules are in place to limit the really hard contact. With that being said, our guys are getting hurt in practice not in games.

It's football, injuries are going to happen. They already greatly reduced the amount of OTA's and contact practices.

We're in MUCH better shape than most teams. We haven't lost a real star player. Jammal Brown is our biggest-name major injury and that should have been expected.

Kory Lich and Trent are minor, they'll be fine Week 1.


Chargers lost their starting RB Mathews.
Broncos RG Kuper just broke his arm.
Colts LB Angerer broke his foot.
Titans WR Britt still questionable to start the season.
Bears Urlacher just had minor knee scope.
49ers Aldon Smith has some kind of hip injury.
Seahawks WR Sidney Rice hurt his shoulder.
Steelers RB Mendenhall and NT Casey Hampton questionable for Week 1.
Eagles QB Vick hurt his throwing hand, Mike Patterson out indefinitely, Jason Peters out for the year.
Giants have a ton of injuries on D - T. Thomas, Canty, Shaun Rogers.
Saints RB Sproles just did something to his knee.
Cowboys Miles Austin and Mike Jenkins may not be ready Week 1.
Browns RB Trent Richardson is scaring them already.
Ravens Suggs out at least until Week 9.


We've been lucky so far.

Kory L is coming off major knee surgury...thats not minor.

Re: 2012 53 man Roster predictions
 

Started a new thread with news of Neild's season ending injury, so it doesn't get buried here

Nothing serious with Hankerson. Dehydrated as I said

Yeah but his latest scope was minor, I think that's what he was saying

Hasn't the NFL already greatly reduced OTAs and full-contact practices? For a lot of those bubble players, I don't think 2 preseason games are enough to get a good look.

Yeah, he's expecting to play Week 1.

Re: 2012 53 man Roster predictions
 

Bad day for the Skins...

Re: 2012 53 man Roster predictions
 

Regarding Helu I wish he could stay healthy because he flashes good stuff out there. But you gotta give props to this FO and the coaches for going into every season w/ a RB stable.

Re: 2012 53 man Roster predictions
 

[quote=Chico23231;930714]well thats a kick to the nuts. lotta playmaking potential. [B]*door opens for Alfred Morris[/B][/quote]

That might not be such a bad thing either. I liked what I saw from him against the Bills.

[quote=Mattyk;930757]That might not be such a bad thing either. I liked what I saw from him against the Bills.[/quote]

It's too bad though, because we needed that speedier, shiftier back that Helu was for us. Not that I'm wishing injury on anyone, but it almost would have been better if this happened to Royster, that way we are replacing him with a RB of similar skill set...

Gano or Rackers????? Anyone??

I say Rackers
