Injury Updates

In addition to getting beaten badly on Sunday, we will also be dealing with some injuries this week. Most notably would be Jay Cutler who is said to have a ‘minor’ ankle sprain. John Lynch, who has lbeen a much needed leader on the defense so far this season, was lost for the game after suffering a groin injury. Both of them will be examined today with details on their returns and/or availablity versus Indy coming this afternoon.

If I had a guess, I would say Cutler plays but Lynch has to sit out. Lynch’s absence is tough on the safety unit, as Hamza Abdullah (hip) and Domonique Foxworth (ankle) are also out with injuries. Curome Cox filled in on Sunday for Lynch, but if Lynch can’t play this Sunday, the team might be forced to promote Steve Cargile from the practice squad for the Indy game.

Also injured on Sunday was FB and special teamer Paul Smith. He suffered a pinched nerve in his neck and did not return to the game.
