It Looks Good

UPDATE - OK. Looks like it's going to be somewhere in between - more like 4-6 weeks out. No final word until the swelling goes down. But at least we haven't lost Alex for the season. If we can go .500 over that stretch and work out the line kinks to get Gore going, maybe he'll be returning to a different team. We'll see. In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, hold on to your butts.

MRI results are in and things are not as bad as feared - Grade 3 separation but surgery not needed. Best-case Alex is back after the bye for the 10/21 game against the Giants. In the meantime, Nolan and Scot McLoughan may add another QB to the roster while Smith is out.

Bottom line, something needs to be done about this line and pronto.
