This just came in: Eli Manning will miss at least a month, because of a seperated shoulder he suffered last night against the Dallas Cowboys. So, apparently Eli will have to wait a while until he gets another shot at proving his critics wrong on the topic of him being a draft bust. Is the New York Giants' season over already? I don't know. I think the Giants need to go out and sign recently released free agent QB Byron Leftwich. If they don't, then the Giants may struggle to win games with backup QB Anthony Wright, or Jared Lorenzen. The Giants RB Brandon Jacobs was also injured in last night's 45-35 loss to the Cowboys. Jacobs suffered a knee injury and will miss 3-5 weeks, they will have to count on new RB Reuben Droughns who they just picked up this offseason.
The Giants are not the only team to get hit with the injury bug this week. Here is a long list of this week's injuries:
- Kevin Everett- Suffered a severe spinal injury, and may end up being paralyzed because of it. Unsure how long he will miss, but obviously he will miss the rest of the season.
- Ko Simpson- Simpson was the second of the three players the Bills lost yesterday, he broke his left ankle, and is out indefinitely.
- Jason Webster- The third of the three injured Bills players broke his forearm and is also out indefintely.
- Mike Brown- The first of two Bears players to suffer season-ending knee injuries.
- Dusty Dvoracek- The second of the two Bears players to suffer a season-ending knee injury.
- Orlando Pace- This is not surprising, once again the STL O-lineman will miss the rest of the season with a torn right rotator cuff.
- Carnell "Cadillac" Williams- Suffered bruised ribs, and is questionable for next Sunday.
- Jason Ferguson- Tore his right biceps tendon, and will miss the rest of the season.
- Lito Sheppard- Out at least one game with a sprained knee ligament.
- Chester Taylor- Receiving treatment for an injury he suffered which was said to be a bruised hip, around his oblique, a muscle near the lower part of the rib cage.
- Jon Jansen- Dislocated his right ankle, and is out for the rest of the season.
Please pray for Kevin Everett, who is likely to be paralyzed after his helmet-to-helmet tackle yesterday against the Denver Broncos. His career is likely over bfore it was even really started. My prayers are with him.
