Injuries

[Freak Out]

i'll bet he's ready for the next game...against the raiders.

He looked a little wasted after that....plus he was spitting blood. It will be interesting to see how he responds this week.

got to see a replay finally...it was a knee for sure. yikes! acl, mcl and probably more.

Quarless has already been ruled out for the season - so ya, some stuff torn up there. He would have been further ahead breaking it.

Woodson is said to be good to go though.

Two things on the Quarless injury: first off, that was on the punt return where he signaled for the fair catch and still returned it. secondly, Quarless was hurt on an illegal block in the back. THATS WHY THOSE BLOCKS ARE ILLEGAL. I expect a fine for both that play and the leverage play by JPP or Tuck or whoever it was. When you deliberately break rules, it has to get a response from the league.

Good God, the refs missed BOTH of those penalties!?

you just knew chuck wouldn't miss a raider game.

Woodson has all his marbles, but a lot of injuries. Starks, Bishop, Hawk probably out. So'oto has back problem still, maybe he should be IR'd.

Has anyone here been contacted about playing back up LB this week? I was a runningback, but now that I am fatter can clog a lane.

I'd be interested in hearing how Mike Neal is feeling/coming along with his knee injury. If he says he's feeling stronger and stronger each day, it would be a nice bit of news.

My worry about Sitton, Hawk, Bishop and Starks is zero. They'll be fine when we need them. At this point, with things mostly locked up and a soft 4 remaining games, I'm not too worried about these petty 1-3 week injuries. We have 5 weeks before they even count.

Hawk has a chance to be back this week. Bishop and Starks probably out.

I'd rather Starks sit for a while. He's hurt his ankle 3 weeks in a row. Get him 100% for the playoffs.

Agreed that you want guys to get healthy, but this also runs contrary to the general thinking (yours included?) in the thread "Should M3 Rest Starter?" that we should play everyone who can so that they remain sharp.

I hope Hawk can play. The Raiders are a run first and run often team. The LBs last week (Francois and Smith) couldn't stop anything - maybe the D-line had something to do with that too, but stopping the run should be a big focus against the Raiders.

Hawk practiced today. Starks and Bishop did not.

[Joemailman]

Hawk listed as Questionable. Bishop and Starks are out. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/135337458.html

McFadden, Ford, and Moore have been DNPs.

[Freak Out]

On a Raiders note....
Notes: Running back Darren McFadden (right foot) and wide receivers Jacoby Ford (left foot) and Denarius Moore (right foot) remained out of practice and are unlikely to play Sunday. … Wide receiver Chaz Schilens returned to practice on a limited basis from a foot injury and cornerback Chris Johnson was back after leaving the team briefly to be with his family after his sister was killed in Texas.
