Coach Dennis Green initially said an MRI found "a slight tear" in the cartilage and thought Boldin would be able to return within two weeks. But during the procedure, doctors found and repaired a more significant tear, Green said.
"We are looking at what is typically an eight- to 12-week injury," Green said about the length of Boldin's rehabilitation.


Poor Dennis.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (Aug. 11, 2004) -- Second-year linebacker Boss Bailey will miss much of the regular season for the Detroit Lions while recovering from knee surgery.

Bailey injured his right knee in an Aug. 3 practice. He underwent arthroscopic surgery in Athens, Ga., where doctors discovered torn cartilage that had not shown up in previous tests.

Glad we drafted Nick Barnett instead.

DAVIE, Fla. (Aug. 11, 2004) -- Miami Dolphins safety Chris Akins is expected to miss the season after undergoing knee surgery for torn ligaments.

Akins tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee Aug. 7 during a workout against Houston.

The fish just can't catch a break.

ALBANY, N.Y. (Aug. 11, 2004) -- Kurt Warner will start ahead of Eli Manning in the New York Giants preseason opener.

Coach Tom Coughlin made that announcement Wednesday, Aug. 11, but added that the competition for the starting job between the two-time MVP and the No. 1 pick in last April's draft remains tight.

I just don't see Warner returning to form. Although it is kind of ironic that this is happening with the team that broke the proverbial camel's back.

NEW YORK (Aug. 11, 2004) -- In one of its most ambitious projects to date, NFL Network will take a pro football telecast (Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills on Aug. 15) and turn it into an event featuring no announcers -- instead relying solely on the audio captured on the field, sidelines and locker room.

Interesting.....in an art movie kind of way. :blat

If most of you don't know..I live about five minutes outside of Cincinnati. So the team around here are the Cincinnati Bengals. Me and my father took a trip down to their training camp...met their new runningback..cool stuff.

I'll refrain from saying The Bungles.
Whoops.
Sound cool, I've never made it to GB for their training camp, even though it is only a couple of hours away from me. Been to a couple regular season games at Lambeau though, good stuff. :thumbup

I have probably the only Detroit Lions Boss Bailey jersey in the world! :lol

He's awesome. That sucks about his injury. I previously heard it was only 4 to 6 weeks to fix some cartilage. Good player with a sick 47 in vertical leap. and he's a LINEBACKER, and the younger brother of Champ Bailey.

Warner will be ok for the Giants, he's there to give Eli time to develop, and give veteran leadership to the Giants for the next year or so. I can't see the Giants being a playoff team....yet.
