Gameday Injury Updates (merged--MET)

To be fair, he is probably terrified about going under surgery under the direction of Redskins doctors. Who wouldn't be? He will probably wake up to find out they accidentally removed his kidneys.

While that was a good one, I think Dr. James Andrews is our doctor, so he'd be in good hands, unless Andrews doesn't operate on feet. I wonder who Orakpo's surgeon is.

Brandon Meriweather downplays latest knee injury

Redskins strong safety Brandon Meriweather said that he felt “fine” despite spraining his right knee and missing the majority of the second half of his team’s 31-6 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Meriweather said that he believes that he could have returned to action, but that he and the team took a more cautious approach because Washington has a short turnaround this week and will play at Dallas on Thursday.

“It was more thinking about the future than me going back in there when we were already up by so much, and the defense was actually playing great,” Meriweather said.

Glad to hear. Postgame Meriweather said if it's up to him, he plays in Dallas. Hope he's right.

[DarkLink]

Yeah I hope Merriweather plays. He was all over the field today.

[ejay183]

Yeah, he made a difference today. Everyone else seemed to pick up on his energy and make plays

[mudhog]

I said a little prayer for Brandon after I saw him being worked on by the training staff. At first, I thought his season was over, cause he grabbed his knee. Then, I thought his season was over cause our training staff was working on him. Glad to see he may have pulled through both episodes. LOL.

BMW definitely made his presence felt on the field today with a solid performance. Hope he can replicate that this Thursday.

Whenever I see BMW, I always think back to Big Mike Williams

I hope that guy is doing okay. Anyone have an update? (sorry for the highjacking of said thread)

#Redskins HC Mike Shanahan reports S Brandon Meriweather has an ACL tear, done for the season.

[RVAbrendan]

Wow. Seriously? Got my hopes up reaaaal high when Meriweather himself said he didnt go back in due to the lopsided score.

Such a freaking bummer. McGoo and Doughty it is.

**** **** **** **** an ACL??? REALLLY????

[authentic]

our most intimidating player on D, gone for the season, after only playing in his 1st game.. SMDH

[skinsfansince1988]

well just think how good we will be next year when we get all these players back, i think we have lost ten starters and several back ups to injury

[TD_washingtonredskins]

That's disappointing. I know he is nothing special, but he definitely changed the tone of our D back there.

I hope we have some health next year. If we do, I could see 10 wins.

We'll get them back and Fromo (or worse) will be out for the year in week 1. How it goes for this team.
