Roundup 8/15
INJURED
Giants rookie RB Andre Brown will miss the entire 2009 season after rupturing his achilles tendon at practice Friday night. Brown was a strong sleeper candidate this year in what was a crowded Giants backfield. Both Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw gain value as a result of this news. It is now a very safe idea to draft Jacobs in the second round and handcuff him to Bradshaw later on to secure what will be a very productive backfield once again this season.
Knowshon Moreno's knee injury is better than expected after MRI results revealed just a sprained MCL. Moreno was injured in the second quarter of the Broncos first preseason game. It hasn't been revealed yet what grade of a sprain this is, but the Denver Post is calling it a 1-2 week injury. Realistically, this means Moreno is out for the remainder of the preseason but should be good to go by the start of the regular season.
The Ravens got new that their fourth round pick, WR Marcus Smith will miss the season after tearing his ACL in the preseason opener against the Redskins. Justin Harper's sleeper appeal just got a heck of a lot better.
STRUGGLING
Both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson had poor outings against the Packers tonight. Each thew an interception and only Quinn led the Browns into Packers territory where Phil Dawson missed a field goal try. In all the Browns scored zero points and threw four interceptions while earning just eleven first downs in the game. Really a pitiful performance tonight and it doesn't look like it's going to get much better anytime soon.
Jay Cutler also didn't have a great debut in a Bears uniform as he went 5-10 for 64 yards and tossed 1 interception in his brief appearance. He later explained that the Bears were using a "vanilla" offense and that the real system won't be opened up until the regular season. Riiiiiiiiiiight, Jay. We in Chicago have heard this for years and you aren't going to fool us with that company line B.S. Cutler will make the Bears offense better, but he won't quite reach the numbers he was on pace for while in Denver under the Mike Shanahan regime.
