Thanks for your support!
Doesn't work for me, I just want to hear any updates on the injury situation and who may return for ATL's game.
Killings - All good news. On his feet today.
Green - MRI showed no damage, has had a knee bruise since Week 1, hopeful for the game against Atlanta, Day to day
Andre - the immobilizer comes off Tues. or Wens, day to day, doubtful for Atlanta
Jacoby - out atleat 2 weeks
Dayne - should be good for Atlanta
Jacoby makes me feel better.
I wasn't expecting Andre back this week, but I still had my hopes up.

Dayne - should be good for Atlanta, wanted to go yesterday but the coaches said no. If Dayne is ok, Walker stays on the PS.
Premature to discuss his football career and may require additional medical attention beyond simple recovery.
What Domanick Davis had last year was described as a knee bone bruise.
It swelled up every time he did activity.
Not a medical doctor cuz I don't like blood which is kinda like a running back who keeps getting swelling in his knees.
Just sayin.
That was the question from McClain to the doctors... I don't know about you, but that question left me with a horrible taste in my mouth.

Kubiak made it sound like it was just a bad bruise. Said Green had suffered the inital bruise against KC, and been working on it over the last three weeks. The swelling is due to the hits, not the activity (ar atleast that's how it sounded to me).
I think it's premature to say it compares to DD's injury.
Ahh...good point I forgot all about Domanick...
It is starting to look like another need has popped up for the 2007 draft.
I think it may be time to go the Apple route and draft a young RB in the first round.

DD had a lot of the cartiledge removed from his knee from a meniscus tear. This resulted in bone on bone contact between the femur and tibia causing inflammation, pain and swelling. From what I understand, he had to have more cartiledge removed due to "playing through the pain" and not getting his knee cleaned out and letting the cartliedge heal properly. Cartiledge gets very poor blood supply and is slow to heal. It's along the same lines as Spencer's injury without the bad break at the top of the tibia. C&D could explain this a lot better than me.Okay, there is the sort of a bruise that you get from hitting your knee into a coffee table.
And then there's the sort of bruise that is a knee bone bruise that has the possibility of making the knee not very functional.
The second is what DD had, that the Texans said he was going to be able to play with, that looked okay from the MRIs other than being a bone bruise, and that caused him to retire. CND knows more about this than I do.
I don't know how they could do that since these injuries are caused by compression of the vertebrae and not a lateral displacement. If you have your head up and look at what you're hitting, it greatly decreases the chance of this kind of injury. The neck basically acts like an accordian getting squeezed when you have that much force impacting the neck with the vertebrae all lined up.It's just good to hear about Killings. That's two this year already and the other is in Methodist. Somebody needs to invent a neck brace that attaches to the helment and to the shoulder pads that would prevent this from happening. The same thing happened to Daryl Stingley in 1981, and he has been a quadraplegic every since.
