Injuries???

I know Bowen got knocked around, and Coles had the finger, and Morton with his concussion. Does anyone know the status of these guys for Sunday?

From what coach Gibbs said in the press conference, it appears that LC's finger is going to be pretty sore this week, but he should be fine. Chad Morton had a mild zinger and he twisted his knee, but the injury isn't too serious, I believe that he is questionable.

When in the game did Coles get that bad finger? would explain some drops.

as much as i crazy admire him relocating his own finger, Coles needs to stop feeling responsible for having bad appendages (along with the toe). if its gonna hurt his play on the field, he's got an obligation to let the coaches know so he can heal, and someone else can CATCH.

I'm most worried about Bowen too. I dont know how hard it would be for Taylor or Lott to just slide over, I'm not sure about how the packages work and everything. Theres one guy I know I dont want in there, Ryan Clark.

If Coles made a couple of big catches his injury would have been a non-issue. I can't fault the guy for gutting it out, that's what players like him are gonna do. I'd rather have a team full of guys like him then guys that come out after breaking a finger nail.

of course. my point is he didnt make some big catches, dropped some easy ones and maybe thats why. so maybe it was an issue. dignity and pride arent the same thing.

True, but I'd rather take my chances with him in the game.

Guys get banged up and play through injuries all the time, it happens in every game. Just seems a little silly to me to criticize Coles for being tough. It's not like he kept playing on a broken leg. For all we know the finger could have had nothing to do with his drops at all. After all he has dropped a few this year prior so maybe his main problem is adjusting to a new QB and getting comfortable in this system.

Or maybe the finger was the problem, who knows?

I believe that Bowen tore his groin muscle, so I don't see him being able to play this week if that's the case.

It had to happen early, I think on the first drive. He was trying to make a catch on the sideline, I think he lost the ball for a second cuz it was a very easy catch. He doinked it and immediately grabbed his finger, everyone I was watching the game with saw it. Just after that is when he got hit by Roy Williams and when he probably told the trainers about it. THing is he made that catch to get us to the one after that, so he's gutty and very good but I agree he's got to get out of there if he can't catch. We've got too many wideouts capable of contributing to have one guy out there dropping catchable balls and costing us possessions.

I expect Coles to bounce back this week with a MONSTER game. Him and Sean Taylor both.

The Skins site says that Bowen has a groin strain. Much better than a tear.

Seems like it was only yesterday that so many on this site (and elsewhere) were wondering why Bowen was even on the team, let alone starting

I was one of those. I admit it. I'll eat crow or whatever.

Same thing goes for Gardner too!

There are always going to be people that are hasty during a players rough times, but I think that we should all just be happy that Bowen has become a bit more of an impact player. I think even his demeanor on and off the field has changed.
He seems much more confident on the field and with reporters nowadays.

So...when is the name Bowenfan going to popup?
