NFL Injury Roundup

Taking a look at some key injuries from around the league after week 2.


Philadelphia Eagles
lost: Jevon Kearse for the entire season with torn knee ligaments.
This one will hurt the Eagles quite a bit as the Freak is still a force. It looks like the injuries that plagued him in Tennessee might be resurfacing.

Dallas Cowboys
Lost: Terrell Owens for 2-4 weeks with a broken finger.
Well, the Cowboys have a bye this week and another bye, I mean the Titans the week after. I think there is no way that Owens misses his return trip to Philadelphia, unless he wants to be branded a coward.

Minnesota Vikings
Lost: Arasmus James to a torn ACL for the rest of the season.
The Vikings aren't the deepest team at defensive end, this one might hurt quite a bit. I'm not sure having not seen much of Minnesota though.

Houston Texans
Lost: Charles Spencer to a broken leg for the rest of the season.
This is about the best possible news for David Carr other than the NFL extending the regular season by 2 games. The Texans line is not good in the first place and Spencer protected Carr's blindside. Watch the sacks start to ring up, but hey it could be worse he could have Oakland's line.

Cincinnati Bengals
Lost: David Pollack for the rest of the year with a broken neck.
This is a bad injury for Pollack and while a team hates to lose anyone to injury for the entire season especially this early, at least the Bengals are deep at linebacker, especially so when Odell Thurman comes back from his drug suspention.

Oakland Raiders
Lost: Aaron Brooks for 2-4 weeks with a shoulder injury.
This might be the best possible news for Aaron Brooks as it may save his life. Now its the Andrew Walter show, we'll find out if this guy has any potential or if its the Brady Quinn sweapstakes all the way.

There you have it, and check out Pro Football Talk for more developments.
