Shaun Alexander may not return until Week 8 (1 Viewer)

Coach Mike Holmgren said Shaun Alexander may not return until Week 8.

This isn't a huge surprise. Alexander's status for next week is in question, and this news supports that. It sounds like he'll be questionable at best by Wednesday.

Good. As an Alexander owner I hope they give him as much time as needed. Week 8 sounds good.

Is it just me that remembers Fred Taylor's groin a few years back where he was going to come back, then you heard very little, then Taylor was declared out for the year?

I sure hope im just having buyers remorse.

SA either had a broken foot all year, and they thought it was bruised until finally getting an x-ray. Or, in half a game he took a bruised foot and broke it. Either way, it never sounded like something a RB could come back from in two weeks as some were hoping.

As a SA owner, I want him fully healthy before he comes back. My guess is he returns at home, on Monday night football in Week 9...

and runs for a $1.50 and 2 scores

It's just you. A groin pull/tear is in no way comparable to a non-displaced bone fracture. Fractures heal, & film will show it...pulls/strains/tears can linger.

I think week 8 would be optimal. I would not be surprised if it was a week or two later.
