Another update: X-rays showed no ligament damage.

Okay lets show how people to overeact. From the reports that I see is that initial reports point to him being okay.

Marcus Washington dislocated elbow per JT. Can we just forfeit the preseason games.

I didn't get to watch the game. Can anyone tell me how Laron looked?

Post #26 » by **Rafael122** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 2:14 am

Laron looks like he'll be the best rookie defensive player. He looks like a beast blowing up a couple of plays in the process. I would argue he and Taylor are going to make the defensive line better.

Update on Marcus, they popped his elbow back in.

For real? So his dislocated elbow isn't the dreaded six week one??

I wouldn't call it an overreaction. It looked just like what happened to Carson Palmer. IMO Campbell is darn lucky. He was about an inch away from being done for the year.

I'll say that it's interesting to see Gibbs go to Collins. That's like Eddie Jordan putting in Blatche instead of Etan. I'd like to see Collins start against Baltimore (assuming that Campbell can't go). If he can move the ball against them like he's done tonight then the #8 car could be parked in the garage permanently.

The problem isn't putting it back in - it's the stretching of the ligaments when the dislocation occurs. That has to be fixed surgically but with it so close to the season he'll have to play on that all year and get surgery in the offseason. So he'll basically be playing nicked all year...again.

Mike Espy looks like he's done. My bet is it's an Achilles.

Whichever way they sugar coat it, that hit on Campbells knee was intentional. The guy wasn't pushed into it. He had complete control over his body and movement. They did it on purpose to Carson Palmer. They did it on purprise their. I hope the league looks into this.

On a side note, count me on the HB Blades bandwagon.

Oh damn. An unhealthy Marcus is still a very good player. We also don't have Warrick Holdman (the Mark Brunell of linebackers) so Marcus won't have a lot on his shoulders.

sorry to hear about the injury... **** pittsburgh... that's right! they are cheap shot team!! i hate them for life. they took out carson palmer intentionally... i feel for you guys.. hope campbell is alright, he's my QB sleeper pick this year. that's why whenever i see someone wearing a steelers cap, i would just steer at him.. F**K PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!

We lost but unlike the first game where it was a win I'm marking this one down as a W even though there were some injury issues, but at least are first teams left looking like winners.

Post #34 » by **Rafael122** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 5:43 am

Injury update:

Espy - ruptured kneecap (OUCH)

Washington - dislocated elbow, they popped it back in. Out a couple of weeks

Campbell - bruised knee

All he did was run and fall down. He didn't even look to be in that much pain. Simply incredible. And horrible for him since we actually needed depth at WR. He could have made the team last year if he hadn't dropped all those passes.

Have they actually done an MRI on Campbell? I will trust the update once an MRI from several angles has been done. X-rays are a rather primative way to look for ligament damage.

Post #37 » by **Rafael122** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 5:59 pm

I believe an MRI is being done today according to reports. Still, if he tore something, wouldn't an x-ray show something like that?

Post #38 » by **W. Unseld** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:12 pm

MRI done, no damage. Rafael, x-rays just aren't as detailed/precise for finding ligament damage.

Scabs304 · Post #39 » by **Scabs304** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:39 pm

Skins didn't win and Jason and Marcus almost got seriosly injured so I think it would be impariative that I do not start the next game thread (hugely superstious when it comes to my Skins). So someone start a game thread for the next preseason game.
