Injury Report

I hope Wiegert is back to normal after 2 or 3 weeks. There is no question we can ill afford his loss. Not only is a he one of our best linemen, I believe he's one of the team leaders. Having said that my concern is what others have pointed out about Wade when he had the same injury last year. He was never the same the rest of the season. I'm hoping the difference is we are in TC and they can completely rest him and let it heal without having to play him at all. Its harder to do that during the season. The high ankle sprain is not an easy one to heal and longer times are normally required.

In case you don't recoginze the contetn teh above is from kffl

Brown is a person we had some high hopes for who has never stepped up. Mr. Weary has been a bust by most accounts. May be this is an opportunity for Mr. Brown to show some potential. Don't be surprised is we make another offer to an unnamed lineman from Cleveland.
