Injury Update

Reid said that they might have to look at signing a RB because Ryan Moats is still a week away from practicing and with Buck being kept in bubblewrap the injury to Perry doesn't help.

Perry flew home with the team

Adrien Clarke had back spasms
Calvin Armstrong has a sprained knee
Scott Young strained a hamstring
Pat McCoy suffered a concussion
Greg Richmond injured his back

Nothing too serious. The only questionable thing on there is the back injury to Richmond. Greg missed all of last year with a herniated disk in his back that needed surgery. So if it is anything connected with that it opens up the door for Dedrick Roper to get some snaps and possibly for Tank Daniels to get some more PT.

I know the backup OL was nothing special, but Bruce Perry wasn't either.

They do need another RB.

Perry seemed to get some yards at times, but two fumbles is just unacceptable. And that has nothing to do with the OL and everything to do with Perry not holding on to the ball.

I know... duh.

What is available on the scrap heap of RBs other than Lamar Gordon?

MadMarchHare · August 07, 2006, 08:40:17 AM

Stephen Davis is still out there (shout out to Phreak...)

Dorsey Levens is still out there, too.

MadMarchHare · August 07, 2006, 08:42:38 AM

Clarett as well.

I wonder what Blair Thomas, Ki-Jana Carter, and Curtis Enis are doing with their time...

Get Barry Sanders!

these injuries may not be serious, but if these guys cant play in a few days it will force the others to play even longer in this next preseason and risk injury. Damn HOF game.

Well, the only real concern in that regard is the OL and the RB's.

Here's to hoping the Eagles acquire another RB.

Can Ashley Lelie run the ball?

Zanshin · August 07, 2006, 09:31:41 AM

If he could, he'd probably be doing it for Denver...considering their current RB woes.

I hope that Scott Young's hamstring gets infected and forces his leg to be amputated.

That's all.

Id go for Chris Brown from the Titans, injury issues or not--he'd do well as a backup
