the first usefull post in this thread. Who is the 3rd string guy?Source: By John Wawrow (CP) approx 4pm ET 8/25:Jackson's status is uncertain as the player was having tests after being hurt during a team drill near the end of the two-hour practice.The injury is potentially troublesome because Jackson is slated as the team's starter while Marshawn Lynch serves a three-game NFL suspension to open the regular season.The Bills added insurance this off-season by signing eight-year NFL veteran Dominic Rhodes in free agency. He's followed on the depth chart by Xavier Omon, who had brief playing time as a rookie last year.Jackson was hurt during a running play, when he took a pitch to the left. He was hit as he burst through the line of scrimmage, fumbled the ball and fell to the ground in pain.With several teammates and trainers looking on, Jackson eventually got up and was holding out his left hand while being escorted to the training facility. Jackson's hand already was heavily taped around the wrist and thumb.Jauron said Jackson was hit in the same spot - just above the thumb - where he had been previously injured.It's not clear when Jackson was initially hurt, but he was bothered by the injury when he lost a fumble in a 31-21 loss at Green Bay last weekend.
Maybe he has a thumb for a big toeSo he couldn't have just walked off the field? How does a thumb injury hinder your ability to walk?
Whew.Why do you think Rhodes is still a good pickup?Latest news from rotoworld.comX-rays on Fred Jackson's thumb were negative, and he will reportedly be ready for the season opener.This is the best-case scenario for Buffalo. It was feared that Jackson had a serious wrist injury, but X-rays showed just a deep bone and ligament bruise. Jackson remains the likely Week 1 starter, with Dominic Rhodes staying in the backup role. Aug. 26 - 10:26 am etI still think Rhodes is a great pick up for the first 3 weeks of the season.
Soccer players everywhere are giving you thewhy are some upset that he rode in a cart to the training room....to me it doesn't matter what you hurt.....if you get injured there is nothing wrong with getting a lift to the training room.....we know what carted off usually means during a game, but in practice it means very little.....sometimes it is a long way back......bfd
Jackson returned to full practice with the team this week and it sounds like he wanted to play last night but they kept him out to be safe.he should be ready for the opener.any buffalo homers have news on jackson vs. rhodes as the starter in week 1?
