[abricru]

I have so many RB's that were put on IR or were injured late in the year that I thought it would be nice to have a thread with the latest news on their injuries. Here's what I came up with so far. Feel free to add to or update this list if you know any more recent news or if you have players I didn't list. Thanks!

Should not be 100% in '08 but playable. Possible battle for starting spot severly limits expectations but could end up being next year's C.Portis.

Chicago Bears HC Lovie Smith confirmed this afternoon that RB Cedric Benson is out for the rest of the season with a left ankle injury that will require surgery.

Definately not interested in this one!!!

Multiple lower body injuries have to be adding up for Kevin. I'd be surprised if Detroit doesn't add a RB this offseason to compete for a starting spot.

Steelers RB Parker Undergoes Surgery On Broken Right Fibula - December 26, 2007

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Willie Parker underwent surgery on Friday to repair his broken right fibula. The team fully expects Parker to recover in time for the 2008 season.

Should be fine for '08, but I along with many other Steeler fans were saying before the injury that we need someone else to compete for a starting spot, not just a complimentary Staley/Davenport type guy.

Miami Dolphins' RB Ronnie Brown and FS Renaldo Hill, both sidelined for the rest of the season because of knee injuries, had surgery Thursday.

Like Caddy, not 100% for '08, but was so damn good pre-injury that even less-than-perfect he could get you top 15 #s and was injured early enough to be in pretty good shape going into the season. I'd roll w/ him as a #2 back but you may need to invest in whoever the backup may be for the 1st couple weeks if recovery doesn't stay on track.

Raiders RB Fargas Done For The Season - December 17, 2007, 20:42

Oakland Raiders RB Justin Fargas is done for the season after an MRI confirmed he has a sprained MCL on Monday.

Should be fine, but may not be the starter anyways. McFadden may be the pick in the draft, as I don't see a bona-fide starter on the roster.

Age and injuries must be piling up on this guy. He didn't look as explosive to me the last two years as he was pre-Reggie. Thomas may have made him expendable and could land a job a-la J.Lewis.
