Injury News September 3rd
Maurice Jones-Drew will have an MRI on Friday on his injured lower leg after he left the preseason game in the first series. X-rays were negative, but Jones-Drew was clearly not happy when he left the field. We will have to wait for the results of the MRI, but it seems he will be less than 100% to start the season. In case you were wondering, Rashard Jennings is his backup.
Willie Parker was absent from the last two preseason games with hamstring and back injuries and he appears he will be ready for the first game, but it is against the tough Titans defense anyway, so he isn't a good play anyway. Parker has had his injury concerns the past couple of seasons, and this doesn't bode well for his season.
Reggie Bush missed his third straight preseason game with a calf injury, not to mention he is coming off offseason knee surgery. He is likely to be ready for Week 1, but considering his history, you can't feel very good about the fact that he is already hurt and the season hasn't even started yet.
Santonio Holmes didn't play in the Steelers last preseason game with a back injury, but he is supposed to be ready for the season opener. He had just one catch this preseason, but that shouldn't have any effect on where you draft him.
Carson Palmer sat out the team's final preseason game with that ankle sprain, but he is expected to be ready for the opening game. He was in uniform for the game, but knew that he wasn't going to play. Palmer has a chance, if he is healthy, to be a number one QB again.
Wes Welker missed another preseason game with an undisclosed injury. There is a chance that he might not be available for Week 1, but it is impossible to predict because the Patriots never give out any real information in the public.
Tom Brady didn't play in the team's last preseason game, probably because of that shoulder injury, but trying to get injury information is like trying to figure out the Matrix. There is no reason to think that he won't be ready for the team's first game.
Clinton Portis missed the Redskins final preseason game with a rib injury, but this is not considered serious and you can expect Portis to be ready for Week 1. Start him with confidence.
