Week 2 NFL Injuries....

[DirtyDMan]

Reggie Bush:

Bush suffered a fractured fibula and is expected to miss four to six weeks. The fibula is the long skinny bone on the outer part of the lower leg. The lower end of the bone makes up the outer portion of the ankle joint, which is why the ankle is generally immobilized for a period of time especially if the break is in the lower portion, as reports suggest. Bone heals well and has a fairly predictable timetable of four to six weeks.

Talk about a bad ending to a bad week for Bush..... You gotta feel some what sorry for this guy and what hes gone through this week...



Ryan Mathews, RB, San Diego Chargers:

It appears that Mathews' fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief. The San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting that Mathews' sprained ankle was sore after Sunday's game, but he is expected to play this week.

This isnt going to help him replace a Hall of Fame RB...

Andre Johnson, WR, Houston Texans:

Johnson sprained his right ankle Sunday and exited the game for a bit in the second half before returning and making a spectacular catch in the fourth quarter for a touchdown. It's always a good sign when a player is able to return after injury, and an MRI taken Monday showed no significant damage.

Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys:

Witten suffered a concussion after a hard hit Sunday and, to the credit of the Cowboys' medical staff, was not permitted to return to the game despite his vehement pleas to do so. This is going to be the pattern we'll see with concussion injuries, as teams will err on the side of caution.

• Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dennis Dixon

is scheduled to undergo lateral meniscus surgery Wednesday and is sidelined indefinitely. The speed of his return will have much to do with what exactly happens during surgery. Meniscus repairs of this type can be season-ending. If it is a more simple procedure, where a flap of torn meniscus is removed, it's conceivable that he could return within approximately four weeks.

• Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson

suffered a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss two to three weeks. This seems like a low-end projection, so fantasy owners might want to seek another option.

• Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez

is expected to miss more than a month with a high ankle sprain. Another sad start to a football season for him. Another reason for fantasy owners who had him stashed away to drop him.
