Raiders No. 1 WR Chaz Schilens left Tuesday's practice due to an injury.

No details on the damage yet. But we're pretty sure the fact that we were hyping him up as a nice sleeper recently put the curse on Schilens. Hopefully we'll get an update after practice.

Hopefully he'll be ok. I'm really liking the Raiders offense this year...as long as they stay healthy.Hopefully he got hurt on the field and didn't just piss off Tom Cable.

 
From MFL

(KFFL) David White, of The San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders WR Chaz Schilens (leg) is on crutches and said he has a broken bone. There is not currently a timetable for his return.

 
Geez.

First C.Ingram, then A.Brown go to IR

...now C.Schilens is out 6-8 weeks!

My roster is starting to look like the (non)walking wounded and camps aren't even half done.

At least I haven't lost starters yet.

<knockin' on wood>

Please trade DeAngelo and Jennings ASAP. Thanks in advance. Matt Ryan too. I got a chance to repeat.

Chaz is obviously a better athlete and will rehab better than me, but I broke that same metatarsal my Senior year of High School and it felt weird to walk(let alone run) for almost a year. It kind of felt like there was an extra ten pound weight just sitting on one small part of your foot whenever you pushed off the ground. I can't imagine being able to maintain coordination at NFL speeds with that injury.Heyward-Bey better develop fast for Oakland's sake. I imagine Higgins will start in Schilens place for now. Is Walker still hanging around?
 
#$*&$(*)%&$*(%&)$ Picked him yesterday.

I'd think DHB would benefit the most, as I suspect they'll treat him as the #1 even if he isn't ready for it yet.

Yikes. If this pattern holds up, you are single handedly going to ruin Oakland's season.

Well, to be fair, Al Davis has been doing that all by himself. :D Did I mention I have M.Walker as well? He should be making arrangements to pay me to drop him! Poor kid doesn't stand a chance. That ankle is the least of his worries. And S.Jackson called me personally to thank me for not bidding more on him weekend before last. :lmao:
 
Doing a bit of research, very little, it seems the severity and type of fracture matters quite a bit on this injury.

But I found this on BBC.com, a list of English athletes that had broken feet, and their recovery time:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/health_and...ess/4283136.stm

RECOVERY TIMES

Michael Owen (2006): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 17 weeks later

Wayne Rooney (2004): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 8 weeks returned 14 weeks later

David Beckham (2002): Second metatarsal - predicted 6 weeks returned 7 weeks later

Gary Neville (2002): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 21 weeks later

Ashley Cole (2005): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 12 weeks later

Scott Parker (2004): Second metatarsal - predicted 8 weeks returned 34 weeks later

Danny Murphy (2002): Second metatarsal - predicted 6 weeks returned 21 weeks later

Steven Gerrard (2004): Fifth metatarsal - predicted 6-8 weeks returned 10 weeks later

RECOVERY

It all depends on the damage and which metatarsal bone is involved. It is impossible to put a timescale on recovery from a stress injury.

After initial rest, the training techniques or body mechanics may need minor tweaking or a major haul to avoid a repeat injury.

With an impact fracture, after the plaster and protective boot is not needed (usually after 4-6 weeks), it will be a case of exercise and increasing weight-bearing activities.

Ice packs, strapping and even the use of oxygen tents can be used to assist recovery.

Full return to action can be anything from another four weeks and upwards - depending on the extent of initial damage. Young bones heal quicker.

One factor that also helps is if the broken bone is one of the three inner metatarsals. As was the case with Rooney.

This means that the fourth metatarsal is aided by the 'splint effect' of the bones on either side.

Preston's David Nugent broke his fifth metatarsal in March 2006 and returned to action after being sidelined for just six weeks.

His remedy? Drink plenty of milk.

Good luck Chaz. We hardly knew ya...

Similar to saying the same for Donnie Avery?

Sort of but not as bad for Avery. Avery played most of last year as a starter. Schilens had less than 20 catches all last year. Chaz is also likely out longer.Avery will not be out as long but he won't have his QB back right away. At least not the starter from last year. Some of us are not sure if that is a bad thing though...

See, I thought *I* was to blame for Brown, Walker, Avery, and Schilens. I'm glad to know I can foist that off on you now, you *******.

I gotta figure this is going to be detrimental to McFadden and all other Raiders as well.

Absolutely. IMO the Raiders three-headed run game needed the big target - Shilens - to work the field while DHB provided deep speed to stretch the D. Those two might have been enough to keep D's honest against a run heavy Raiders O. Louis Murphy (The other Oakland rookie WR) has been highly praised at times this camp, and I have to wonder if the door opens for him here. JLH is nothing special and Javon is the other option, if healthy. Yuck.

I thought Bulger is only going to be out a couple weeks. Wouldn't Bulger be back before Avery?
Click to expand...
Not entirely sure. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part that Boller will be there for a while when we start the season. I think Bulger is more skilled but he is just shell shocked from the last two years. Almost seems like he would rather quit. Seems the only reason he is playing still is the money. That's not what I want motivating my QB...
 
Best case scenario is he only misses first 4 weeks. I think there's a good chance he goes on the PUP. Means he's out first 6 weeks, and the team has to decide what to do with him after that. That's what, 9 weeks from now (roughly)?

Good point about Murphy, he's had a good camp.However, I disagree with your assessment of the running game. They ran quite effectively last year with Higgins, Miller, and Curry. I think they'll do just as well replacing Curry/Walker with DHB, and that they've demonstrated they can run on anyone.

When I broke mine at 21 (5th also, by rolling my ankle) I walked 10 miles in a cast 3 weeks later (don't ask). The cast only lasted 4 miles. I was running on it in 6 weeks, and by 8 felt comfortable making cuts and sprinting. I was about 190 pounds.
 
JLH has to be the starter. I just don't see them starting 2 rookie wideouts. The question I have is how good at blocking are the rookies? At least one has to block for the running game.

Agree completely JLH starts. By the 'door opening' here I Murphy, I mean to say more PT. He goes from (IMO) the #4 or #5 WR to the #3 or #4. He will see more looks as a rookie than he might have been in line for this morning. And while DHB and Murphy are both rooks, Walker staying healthy is iffy. If he does get hurt at some point, you are looking at rookies as 2 of the top 3 options. Yes, Oakland will still be able to run. Just not as effectively as they would have with healthy WRs, IMO.
 
I don't recall anyone pulling the fork out of Harrison and as for Jones, he's a waste of time. They will use what they have on roster. They did last year when Schilens was a rookie and Higgins was a 2nd year vet. They will use what they have currently in camp. They run the ball anyway. The WR's are just bodies in the blocking game. The TE is the main receiver.

David Boston and Charles Rogers have as good a chance of being signed as Harrison and Jones.

 
you guys are jizzing all over yourselves about a crappy passing attack

the first OAK WR went 14.08 in my league

these guys (including Shilens) are all flyer picks
