Joe Jurevicius expected to miss 4-6 weeks with broken ribs (1 Viewer)

Browns WR Joe Jurevicius is expected to miss "at least" 4-6 weeks with broken ribs.Jurevicius will undergo an MRI to confirm the initial diagnosis. He was injured on a 20-yard grab in the first quarter that was called back by a penalty. Jurevicius, who missed 17 combined games between 2003-2004, can be dropped in most fantasy leagues after the news is confirmed. Dennis Northcutt will likely take over in the starting lineup.

 

[joffer]

was wondering what happened to him today. thx

 

[tombonneau]

Is Northcutt still returning punts & kicks for CLE? If he is, he could now hold some value in return yardage leagues.

 

[Das Boot]

Not so much for FF, but I thought JJ would help the Brownies in the RZ this year.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

The Browns are the Chicago Cubs of the NFL.

The only luck they have is BAD luck.

Cleveland is the only NFL team that has never hosted or been in a Super Bowl.

and I was mocked for pimping Northcutt.

Tough break - you gotta hate to see a good guy like JJ go down.

And Tom: Northcutt returns punts; didn't return kicks today.

 

[Bri]

can't find the player spotlight thread on him.

Curious if we get to see some Travis Wilson now. After all he was the best WR in the draft

 

[vegasrobb]

Poor Joe. Hope he returns strong.

Can they put him on PUP? Don't know the rule about that. If they can, Frisman Jackson is still unsigned.

Who's Frisman Jackson?

 

[brakeyawself]

And yea I am kind of curious as to who gets more looks now that JJ is down.

Yahoo has this...

Sep 11 Jurevicius is believed to have broken ribs and could be out 4-6 weeks, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Recommendation: Jurevicius will undergo an MRI exam Monday to confirm the early diagnosis, but it's most likely that he'll be missing a significant portion of the season. Josh Cribbs and Dennis Northcutt will battle for extra time in Jurevicius's absence. In most leagues, you should go ahead and drop Jurevicius as soon as you can.

But for some reason, I still like Travis Wilson a lot. Am I being stupid?

No one could predict this injury. I still don't think Northcutt has much of any value, he drops way to many easy balls and will easily lose the confidence of Frye and is the third receiving option on a bad offense.

frisman didn't make the team, he's not JJ's replacement. He's gotta hope for an invite back and do better in practice and....this is wishful thinking IMO

Because you predicted that Jurevicius would break his ribs in the first game. Way to go, Sparky.

Fixed.

Per Cleveland radio...Jurevicius didn't break any ribs...out week-to-week.

Good news ...but this "out week-to-week" thing sounds very familiar to those of us who have owned JJ before.
