Roundup 8/19
Uh-OH
Seattle Seahawks LT Walter Jones has undergone another surgery on his left knee, the same one that he had microfracture surgery on in the offseason. This is a big blow to the Seahawks who now find themselves tragically thin on the offensive line. Jones has been out for most of camp due to back spasms which had just flared up on him again during Monday's practice. Jones is in danger of missing quite a bit of time as he fully recovers from both the knee and back issues. I would expect him to not be ready for the regular season and miss up to 4 regular season games. Even when he comes back it is without a doubt that Jones will be a shell of his former self. RT Sean Locklear will move to the left side now to protect Matt Hasselbeck's blind side. I would go ahead and downgrade the entire Seahawks offense just a little bit upon this news.
LET GO
The Raiders have released power blocking fullback Lorenzo Neal. Wow. This is quite a shocker as nearly every single fantasy expert raved about what a great pick up this was because of all the great RB's that Neal has blocked for in his career. Either the Raiders RB's don't like running behind a lead blocker, or the Raiders are just an ignorant franchise. I would expect another team to quickly scoop up Neal, providing that he is indeed healthy and interested in continuing his career.
LIFTING THE FOG
Finally, the story of what is REALLY wrong with Dallas Clark has come out. Clark suffered another concussion a couple of weeks ago and has been held out of all team activities since then. The team never gave a reason for Clark missing time, only telling the local media that he was "day-to-day". I speculated last week that something must be wrong with Clark as he usually isn't a practice ditcher and the team was abnormally hush-hush about his situation. This is because Clark has had previous concussions and was undergoing detailed testing this time in order to make sure he was OK to resume practicing. He will play in the Colts second preseason game against the Eagles.
