What exactly is the problem with Samuels? It came as a surprise to me when he was inactive for yesterday's game, and Sonny and Sam didn't go into detail about it (I have to listen to the games). What did he hurt, and when did it happen?

Inflamed cartilege in his knee. Never heard that one before.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

Well I don't think cartilege can inflame. It doesn't get enough blood supply. My guess is a lack/mislaign/tear of cartilege is causing swelling around said cartilege.

That's why I am not a doctor. :)

[quote=GMScud;494526]If anyone watched the NYG-Pitt game yesterday, [B]the recipe for beating Pittsburgh is pretty clear- get to the QB! Big Ben was pressured by blitzes all night and threw 4 INTs.[/B]

But we couldn't sack a QB even if he had lead in his shoes, so this could be a problem. Their O-line isn't that great, but neither is Detroit's and we barely laid a hand on Orlovsky. Willie Parker will be back next Monday too...[/quote]

That's what has me worried - we never really get consistent pressure on the QB so we need great coverage to shore up the deep threats especially. I expect Ben to take a ton of deep shots if we're w/o Springs (as it sounds). Willie Parker doesn't worry me because our run defense is strong as ever and Horton should be back next week as well.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

According to Yahoosports, Zorn said in the presser that Moss has "a little swelling" in his hammy. Awesome. Get in those ice baths on that massage table, Santana. Relentless treatment. We need you against Pitt. You can rest during the bye.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

I would have Samuels have the surgery ASAP and sacrifice missing a couple of games but having the peace of mind in getting him back towards the end of the season and hopefully into the playoffs. In the meantime, I would activate Reinhart and see what he's made off in case Heyer continues to struggle.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

im with you on the samuels thing.but i have a feeling he will play.
im dissapointed in springs this year...seems lik ehes goasting on an easy 10 mil.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

This team needs a bye badly.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

The bye is coming..im a little worried with portis, the man needs a rest and def def worried about moss...horton should be back. I dont know the status on griffin..anybody have an update on him? Our guy are pretty banged up..thy ar eplaying hard tho..i have alot of respect for all of them.

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

We could definitely use the bye. When was the last time we had a bye during the middle of the season? Is it just me or do we typically get out bye in week 3?

Just off of the Washington Times today.

Chris Samuels is at Redskin Park and he just said in the parking lot the MRI on his knee showed good results and only some cartilage irritation.

On sitting out early in the week: "I'll talk to the trainers because I'm starting to feel a lot better so I want to practice this week."

On playing Monday night: "I'm thinking definitely."

Re: Initial injury reports / Post game
 

Not for nothing, but this is a huge game if we win. I believe Springs and everyone else can suck it up especially with the extra day and then have the bye week to rest.
