Gameday Injury Updates (merged--MET)

[laxpck]

You are not supposed to notice the 3-4 front 3. All I know is we GOT 0 pressure yesterday after he left and they ran RAN RAN.

You need that end to set the edge cause the 3-4 OLB is usually too light.....we just need Jarvis to step the heck up

Last year they only won one game; Does Coach Fisher make that much difference to get to playoffs?

Adam Carriker has a 'quad tendon tear' not an ACL as I incorrectly said on ESPN 980. I was thinking about Jenkins injury. Sorry.

i totally forgot about Jarvis Jenkins. This is going to sound terrible, but has he seen a lot of PT the first two games? I don't recall seeing him out there

Yes, he Jarvis Jenkins has played a bunch thus far. At least Iv seen #99 out there.
I guess Baker going to get bumped up? I havnt seen him these first two games

Meriweather (knee) said he's going to try and play Sunday. #RedskinsTalk

Russell
#Redskins DE Doug Worthington says he has not got the call yet from agent, but he is very much hoping to get get called to replace Carriker

Bashir
Josh Wilson (concussion) is walking around and smiling. Barred from talking to media per NFL rules. #RedskinsTalk

I hope we rest Merriweather until he is really, really ready to go. This training staff has underwhelmed me in the way they've handled players coming off of injuries and the timing of their return.

Glad to hear about Josh Wilson.

Wish we knew more about Orakpo. That one really stings.

Yup, I think people really undervalue what he brings to the table. The difference b/w him and Jackson was staggering

I feel the same way. I kind of think its a little sketchy trying to play him already. I was a little taken back when I saw that tweet and then there are others that say his going to try and play. Just seems a little hard to believe, or weird I
guess.

Something about this doesn't seem to make sense. We heard all week that it isn't really an "injury" in that sense of the word, more a pain management issue. Ok fine, whatever, you'd expect him to get a pain killer injection and be ready to go. Then the week lingers on, and he can't practice. Then he attempts warmups, but is a no go.

Then I see Nicks, Jackson, Macklin etc etc all playing for their teams when they were listed as Questionable with various injuries.

Was Garcon held out of the Rams game as precautionary measure? Was it because Shanahan thought the offense could get by without it's best wideout this week?

Was Shanny just trying to be coy about an actual injury?

I've heard that this is sort of like a Turf Toe situation but on the top of the foot instead of the toe. Correct me if I am wrong, but when someone gets turf toe, it never seems to go away unless they just flat out rest the condition, and a lot longer than a week.

Is this something we can expect to linger the entire season? How soon until an update or clarification?

Keep in mind Garcon is a speed guy. If he has a foot injury then he may be able to run but running at 80% is a big dropoff.

All indications r Orakpo is nothing major. As reported earlier, doctors could not find anything serious last night, encouraging signs 2day.

[Skinz4Life12]

that's really good news

[Murphs56]

that's really good news

Yeah, I figure he'll still probably miss at least a week or 2. But it's definitely encouraging. I just hope it doesn't linger

I want to see Baker get a chance. He should be an upgrade to the run defense. Its time to reward the guys who performed in the preseason like Baker and Crawford.

Thank goodness. Rest up, we need you

So Sundberg can play with a broken arm but Orakpo and Garcon can't play with Owie Boo Boos?
