I made this because I'm constantly fretting about where to post injury updates at so people can see it. So I made this thread in hopes that this kinda becomes a sticky and we can keep this thread limited to Skins injuries, rumors, updates, etc.
So to bring this thread up to speed in regards to the more serious injuries:
Fred Davis, Nick Sundberg, Orakpo, Helu, Carriker, all on injured reserve.
Fletcher and Garcon didn't practice this week.
Meriweather had a limited practice.
Here's the update on Garcon that I posted in the Around the NFL thread and then got OCD:
Redskins WR Garcon has torn ligament on right foot - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/redskins-wr-garcon-torn-ligament-165927406--nfl.html)
Heard one of the ESPN guys stating that it's a very real possibility that Garcon could be done for the year. That if he cannot go after the bye......well
We'll see. ...tough injury year

Does BM have a chance of actually playing?? If so I'd hope he isn't running routes near AR...

Doubtful. Limited practice Wednesday. Didn't practice today. I'm thinking we won't see him before the Philly game after the bye.

If we win Sunday it'll be HUGE for our playoff push and some of these guys to get healthy would only help the matter

any time i hear "torn ligament" it doesnt sound like something that is going to go away or get significantly better with rest. I hope i'm wrong.

Rocca was a full participant which is good, didnt I hear something about us trying out some other Eagles punter??? Also was wondering if Aldrick Robinson is 100% - we are going to need him to step up like he did in New Orleans to lessen the pain of the Garcon deal - I have this terrible feeling he is done for the year based on what im reading and seeing. Will be nice if we can still have some run of success this year and get Garcon, RAK, and Carriker back for next year.
BTW I think this is a great thread Dynamite.

2 things I want to state:
1) I was watching, I want to say ESPN; if not Foxsports; and they did a report on astro turf and how it causes players to get Lisfranc injuries and ACL tears greater than grass fields. Garcon got injured in New Orleans, which is turf. How soon until the NFL says "all fields must be grass"
2) I've mentioned this before, but isn't it a tad odd that our banner, of the 6 guys listed there, 4 of them are injured and/or done for the year...

Fletcher Orakpo Kerrigan
Hurt hamstring and balancing problems| Torn Pec-IR | STILL HEALTHY
Griffin Davis Garcon
Still healthy (knock on wood) | Torn Achilles-IR | Torn ligament in football; could be IRed soon
any time i hear "torn ligament" it doesnt sound like something that is going to go away or get significantly better with rest. I hope i'm wrong.
It just depends on the severity of the tear. Unless it's torn significantly or all the way through, rest can heal it.
