Thread for Recent Releases\Injuries\Etc.

[JP Z]

Since it seems many of us are in Fantasy Football and also that we are actually trying to follow the game I created this thread so that we can follow some "late-breaking news"

First off

Ricky Williams - RB-MIA - Retired....

David Boston - OUT FOR SEASON. I guess he messed up his knee in practice and is OUT.

Marcell Shipp - Wrecked ankle out at least 2 months.
UPDATE: He was placed on IR 9/1 officially ending his season.

Tim Brown - Released by Raiders, Signed with the Bucs 8/10

That's all I have for now, but I'll keep you posted.

Here's some late news.

Kellen Winslow - TE Cle- Signs finally....sissy

Chris Perry - RB Cin - Signs as well

This leaves only 2 of the first round picks left to sign.

Anquan Boldin - WR Pho - Hurt his knee stretching before practice, no word yet on severity.

UPDATE:Arizona Cardinal WR Anquan Boldin underwent arthroscopic surgery today
(Wednesday) to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. (He has a good chance to return by week 1.)
UPDATE #2: He had more of a tear then thought it is typically an 8-12 week injury.

Marty Booker-WR-Mia - Well Marty was traded to the Phins in a very interesting Turn of events. Where he goes as a clear #1 WR to now being the #2 in a shaky offense...his value is down.

Correll Buckhalter - RB-Phi- Done For season with a torn Patela Tendon.

Quincy Carter - QB - Jets - The Jets signed Carter to be there backup. So unless Pennington gets hurt he doesn't have much value.

Marcus Robinson - WR - MN - Well he seems to still be nagged by his ankle injury. Tice says he is now the #3 receiver behind Burleson. As he hasn't much time to play with the offense and it is a difficult one to learn.

Mike Anderson -RB Den- Out for season with GROIN injury........ouch!!

Troy Hambrick - RB---ARZ- Hambrick was just traded to the Cardinals. If he can learn the system and regain some speed he is #2 behind Emmit Smith so basically he should be starting by week 5

Morton Anderson -K- MN - As soon as KC dropped him MN decided to pick up it's 3rd kicker in 2 weeks. I was hesitant to add him to this considering the Vikes may decide to add another here to make it an even 4.

Joe Nedney - K- TEN- IR out for Season

[Piker]

Former NDSU Bison RB Lamar Gordon traded to Miami. He's not expected to play much on Sunday, but will get the starting job the next week. He might be a really nice player. He was a guy that I thought Lovie Smith might try to get in Chicago. Very good all-around back. I think everyone in our league put a claim in for him yesterday.

Anyone know how long the Keanen McCardell holdout is going to last for Tampa Bay?

[JP Z]

McCardell is talking like he may join the team...but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Gordon is most likely done for the year.

Charlie Garner is done for the year.

Duece is out for 3 weeks.

Kleinsasser is done for the year.

Rex Grossman is done for the year.

Kellen Winslow is done for the year.
