Colts’ Anthony Gonzalez Out 2-8 Weeks; Is Hank Baskett His Replacement?
Published: September 17, 2009
No Comments
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez is expected to miss anywhere from 2-8 weeks depending on the status of his knee injury.
The Colts organization would not specify the exact nature of the knee injury, but anyone who saw the footage of Gonzalez going down could see the injury might prove nagging for the third year receiver, second on the depth chart behind Reggie Wayne.
Rumors are swirling that the Colts are pursuing Hank Baskett, recently released from the Philadelphia Eagles, to make up for the loss of Gonzalez.
This suggests the injury may cost Gonzalez more than just two or three weeks of playing time this year.

Michael Vick Signed, Eagles’ Hank Baskett Released
Published: September 15, 2009
No Comments
Eagles’ wide receiver Hank Baskett has been removed from the Philadelphia Eagles roster to make room for Michael Vick, the AP is reporting.
Vick is eligible to play in an NFL game starting September 27th, when the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs. Baskett will probably be traded; the Eagles have so far been unsuccessful in finding an interested party.
Vick’s signing was probably expedited by Donovan McNabb’s cracked rib injury, which the Eagles’ QB suffered in a week one victory over the Carolina Panthers. Second-string QB Kevin Kolb may have to step in for McNabb if his injury keeps him sidelined.

Tomlinson, Chargers’ Offensive Line Suffer Injuries Despite Win

The San Diego Chargers saw two of their interior offensive line starters and their feature running back go down with injuries despite a comeback win over the Oakland Raiders Monday night.
Starting center Nick Hardwick and guard Louis Vasquez went down with injuries suffered during the Chargers 24-20 victory. Running back LaDainian Tomlinson injured his right ankle, and was forced to watch the Chargers’ mount their comeback from the sidelines.
Coach Norv Turner has said that he does not foresee the three players suiting up for practice Wednesday, leaving their status as starters uncertain for Week Two.
Hardwick’s injury necessitated his removal by cart, while Tomlinson and Vasquez’s injuries appeared less severe.
Running back Darren Sproles is expected to step into Tomlinson’s role as starter if LT is forced to miss the Chargers’ next game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Matt Cassel Questionable for Kansas City Chiefs Heading into NFL Week Two
Published: September 15, 2009
No Comments
Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley admitted he wasn’t sure whether Chiefs starting quarterback Matt Cassel would be able to make the start against the Oakland Raiders in week two.
Cassel, who injured his knee prior to the first game of the season, has yet to make a start for the Chiefs. Haley indicated that more would be known about the ex-Patriot later in the week.
Second-string QB Brodie Croyle got the start Sunday in Cassel’s place, putting up a respectable effort against the Baltimore Ravens despite losing 38-24.
Croyle went 16/24 for 177 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was thrown to beleaguered wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who had to work his way up from the third string during fall practice. He would get the start again this coming Sunday if Cassel still needs to be held out.
