The Injury Report
Sep 18, 2006 | 2:24PM | report this

Welcome to the Injury Report (Pronounced "Repore" like Stephen Colbert) where we look at some of the injuries from this last week and see how they hurt their teams.

One of the biggest injuries is on the Philadelphia Eagle Defense, as star defensive end Jevon Kearse is done for the year. In two games, he already had 3 1/2 sacks, and he has been one of football's best pass rushers for the last few years. The backup on the depth chart is Juqua Thomas, who has already had two sacks this season. However, the Eagles lose a huge piece to that defense.


Another defensive injury is that of David Pollack linebacker of the Bengals, who suffered a season ending neck injury. This guy was the 17th overall pick last year, and he didn't get too much time in last year, with only a small amount of tackles. With this setback, who knows if he can ever become the force he was expected to become. His backup is a rookie named Rashad Jeanty, who is from the CFL.

The Texans already crappy offensive line took a hit, as starting rookie Charles Spencer broke his leg against the Colts. He will be replaced by veteran Ephraim Salaam, who has started many times, so they many not be too hurt, but a young talent is done for now.

Vikings defensive end Erasmus James is out for the season as well, with a knee injury. He was the 18th overall pick last year, and looked to be a future talent at defensive end. His backup is a 6th round rookie named Ray Edwards.

Dwight Freeney limped to the sidelines during the Colts game with a leg injury, but it is unknown if he will miss any time. The cornerstone of the Colts defense, they better hope he ends up fine.

Getting clocked every other pass play wasn't good for Raiders QB Aaron Brooks, as he has a pectoral sprain, and may be out for up to a month. Brooks looked like ####, but he had no blocking to speak of. Unfortunatly for him, if Walter plays remotely decent, Brooks will lose the starting job.



And finally, Terrell Owens. I'm sure unlike the rest of these guys, you've heard about Owen's broken finger about 3,000 times already, well if you watch ESPN. Owens will likely be out at least a week, but may not miss more than 1-2 games. And the talk of "T.O. is making this injury up" will begin, and the media will start poking at Parcells again...sigh...

Well that's all for the Injury Report.
