Week 4 Fallout

Running Backs continue to drop like flies across the NFL.
Here is a quick look at the significant injuries from Sunday's Week 4 slate.


Carnell Williams - The Cadillac will be parked in the garage for the remainder of the 2007 season. Grab Michael Pittman and/or Earnest Graham immediately. Williams has a torn patella tendon, it is reportedly career threatening.

LaMont Jordan - Jordan sustained a back injury on Sunday. The word is that Jordan will likely miss significant time. This is a huge blow, given Jordan's tremendous comeback season. Dominic Rhodes will be back following Oakland's Week 5 bye. Rhodes will lose some touches to Justin Fargas.

Joseph Addai - Addai laid on the ground for a while after a gang tackle late on Sunday. It is reported as a bruised shoulder
, and that he could have returned if the Colts weren't already in control.

Brian Westbrook - Hopefully you played it safe and benched him in Week 4. Westbrook reportedly has a torn muscle in his abdomen. The Eagles have a Week 5 bye, Westbrook should be back for Week 6.

Marvin Harrison - A very scary moment for his owners. Harrison returned to the game, but was then pulled. Speculation is that it may be an MCL injury, which has sidelined Andre Johnson. This certainly warrants keeping a close eye on.

Santana Moss - Yes, he was on a bye. However, the Redskins signed Keenan McCardell today. Rumor is that Moss will miss at least Week 5 with a groin strain.

Anquan Boldin - Also inactive for Week 4. Boldin is seeking out a second opinion on his injured hip. Keep an eye on him, hopefully he won't miss that tasty match up against St. Louis.

Calvin Johnson - He warmed up on Sunday, attempting to get loose, but to no avail. It would be a very big surprise if he missed Week 5.

Javon Walker - Yet another Week 4 inactive. His Week 5 status is also currently unknown. It would be a surprise if he didn't play.

Alex Smith - Smith suffered a separated shoulder Sunday. He has already been ruled out for Week 5. Trent Dilfer is once again a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Jake Delhomme - He was inactive on Sunday. Delhomme admitted today that elbow surgery is a possibility if it does not heal soon. David Carr was abysmal on Sunday.

Vernon Davis - Yes, he was inactive on Sunday. He'll be inactive again in Week 5. Just posting this to let you know. That partially torn MCL is a big concern.

Todd Heap - Heap injured his hamstring in the lower part of his leg. His status for Week 5 is unknown at this time.
