Chris Samuels just carted off field

[wilsowilso]

Well if it was a complete tear then they would know very quickly. Like on the field the trainer would have a pretty good idea that it was a complete tear. If the rumors an hour or two later are still that it is only a sprain then it is unlikely to be a catastrophic type injury. Not a good thing but in this case hopefully the least worst scenario.

I agree shit happens but, it is so gut wrench when something happens. It is the worst defeat. At some point in my life after watching football I will realize that no season is injury free. You need to also remind yourself that ever other team is going through the same crap. This year I just want to come out of the gate with all our horses.

At work I have just keeped my mouth shut. I want to be able to have something to cheer about before running my mouth about how good we are. I want to be able to walk in on Monday morning with a smile on my face because I know the Redskins just got a big win on Sunday and nobody can say shit to me!

Please let this be a small injury, please.

I think you might be overblowing the use of the word "replacing" They're merely saying someone needs to fill in at that spot while he was out. Even if it's just for a few days

Samuels off to MRI [Ryan O'Halloran]

Redskins director of sports medicine said moments ago that left tackle Chris Samuels sustained a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee and was scheduled for an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.


Samuels went down late in the Redskins' practice this afternoon while engaged with a pass rusher.


On his way out of Redskin Park tonight, Samuels said: "Two guys fell into my leg. ... I think I'm OK. I didn't feel anything pop."


In February, Samuels, 30, had surgery on his left knee. In 2003, he missed three games with a right knee MCL injury.

News & Notes: Samuels Injures Knee
By Gary Fitzgerald

July 30, 2007

Left tackle Chris Samuels suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during Monday's practice. Samuels is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on the knee on Monday evening.

Team officials will evaluate Samuels' status after the MRI is completed.

The injury occurred late in practice when a lineman inadvertently rolled over Samuels' leg.

After practice, Samuels walked out of Redskins Park towards the team bus wearing a brace around his right knee.

"It's just a sprain," Samuels said. "I think I'm okay. I didn't feel anything pop, but it was definitely my MCL. I'm going to go get an MRI and we'll see how long it takes for me to get back out on the field.

It's likely that Samuels will be sidelined for several practices, as well as this Saturday's scrimmage against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

Samuels said that when the injury initially happened, his first thought was that his season was over before it started.

"But the good Lord blessed me and I know that I'm fine," he said.

Head coach Joe Gibbs said he is unlikely to move Todd Wade back to tackle to replace Samuels in the lineup. It's possible that reserve lineman Jason Fabini, who has played mostly tackle in his career, could step in for Samuels.

Fabini!? I hope Samuels is ok too guys. Fabini never showed up for his last team.

If Fabini is in the mix, you might as well dig a hole.

Don't worry about our offensive line. You have enough to worry about with your own. And I say that with all respect.
