Sure it sucks losing production from your players when they get injured early in the NFL season. What sucks worse is drafting a player (or team defense) and having a significant injury during the 3rd game of the pre-season schedule. Let's list the casualties over the last 9 days:• Browns QB Derek Anderson was concussed by, yes, Osi Umenyiora.
• Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew turned an ankle.
• Bengals QB Carson Palmer broke his nose.
• Patriots WR Wes Welker bruised his ribs.
• Redskins DE Jason Taylor sprained his knee.
• Bills QB Trent Edwards sustained a thigh contusion and, then, OT Langston Walker -- the temporary replacement for holdout Jason Peters -- went down with an arm injury.
• News broke that Chargers LB Shawne Merriman's season could be in jeopardy with tears to the PCL and LCL in his left knee.
Oops.
But, at least Kurt didn't sucker us in to Fantasy Olympic Weight Lifting. Yes, had you selected Hungarian Janos Baranyai in the 77-kilogram division, you would have been missing some fantasy weight lifting points.
The Olympic athlete was attempting to life 326.3 lbs., when his elbow popped and his forearm bent backwards. The injured weightlifter fell immediately on the floor shaking and crying out in horrific pain.
Good times.
