best info I've seen on this so far Matty. The question I was to ask was it "up to 4 weeks" or at least 4 weeks, and that was answered here.
I still am preparing myself for bad news. Not to be pessimistic, just to be realistic about injuries. We had our share last year, and you have to expect a couple problems this year at least.
This is overall good news I'd say, and the timing for an injury is good. Samuels has shown in the past that he's rebounded from the same knee problems, so there is reason for optimism.
Unless Whitticker & the other guards really can't step in, I would rather see Wade as our backup T. The position is too important not to have your best lineman there. Of course, the coaches might move him there if this injury occurs during the season.
