I believe I'd go with the guy who spelled a healthy D McAllister, and that is Smith.Edited to say -

this form KFFL:

Oct 10 ESPN's John Clayton reports New Orleans Saints RB Antowain Smith will take over as the team's starting running back with RB Deuce McAllister (knee) out for the remainder of the season.

 

[NJ]

Not sure if this has been reported already, and I'm not digging through this whole thread to find out, so sorry if this is a Honda, but I heard on WFAN on my way home from work today that inital reports that Blaylock was done for the year were incorrect and that he could be back in 6 weeks.

Backward knee would be a hyperextension, no? Not sure how serious.

Yeah cuz his 5 carries for 6 yards (with a longest rush for 5 yards) and that lost fumble were really worth 14 's

Does anyone actually think that Antowain Smith is better than Aaron Stecker? I mean, I know Clayton's report says he's the backup, but is it only b/c Stecker was hurt earlier in the year? Antowain Smith is older than my grandfather, and Aaron Stecker was a stud for much of last year when Deuce went down. What's the consensus here?

 

[Perry Van Hook]

Don't forget Jesse Chatman (just acquired by Saints from Dolphins for a draft choice)

 

[Bri]

press conference at AtlantaFalcons.com, Mora says Hartwell and ?? are likely done "it didn't look good". Who's the other guy? Can't hear it

 

[Bears_Man2]

Been out this afternoon, but here's something I found on TJ: (Part of an ESPN Chat Wrap with PFW)"Thomas Jones' situation has drawn conflicting reports. Being based in Chicago I get to read the two daily papers. The Sun-Times said Jones' injury was minor. The Tribune said the injury was more severe. But here's the real deal. Lovie Smith said today that Jones' knee ligament is partially torn. Smith said Jones is definitely out this week. But his status after that is unknown. Adrian Peterson may get the starting nod over rookie Cedric Benson to replace Jones. That makes no sense to me. Why are the Bears wasting their first-round draft pick? Start Benson, please. "

 

[TheLaw]

any news on Roy Williams?

 

[Bri]

10/11/2005 Joe Horn, WR (NO) Horn admitted that he could have played in last weekend's loss to the Green Bay Packers, but the Saints did not want to take any chances with him aggravating his strained hamstring any further. The veteran receiver will continue to receive treatment over the next few days, and barring any setbacks, he plans to be in the lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Atlanta Falcons.

 

[bjabrad]

Hope this is useful but out of Cowboys camp this morning comes word that Julius Jones has a high ankle sprain (the worst kind) and is questionable for this week against NYG. Tyson Thompson is probably going to be the replacement. I know this info is elsewhere in the forum but it's good to keep it all consolidated under the injury thread as well. High ankle sprains can take guys out for a long time. Tyson Thompson has been getting accolades from the coachs for his performance this past week (20 rushes for 75 yards vs PHI) the guy is the normal return guy so he's quick and fast. I think he'll start this week vs NYG and probably next week @ SEA (according to my gut).

No, he didn't. There was a thread about this - he was referring to Rueben Brown's, injury, not Thomas Jones, when he referenced the partially torn ligament.

 

[my man otis]

OK, where the frig is the NFL injury report? Did they forget to update the webpage???

 

[Texican]

Why is Drew Brees questionable? (according to my ESPN FFB page - there is a Q by his name)

 

[Sam Quentin]

Davis/Foster/GoingsTJ/Benson/PetersonDeuce/Antowain/SteckerGreen/Poopie/FisherTaylor/PearmanJJones/Thompson/Thomas/BarberSo much possible RB turnover in 1 week, my head is spinning

 

[my man otis]

Why is Drew Brees questionable? (according to my ESPN FFB page - there is a Q by his name)

I was surprised to see him listed also. No clue.
