Meriweather is expected to make his debut, as long as there are no more pre-game accidents. :doh:


Is it sick that I thought this thread titled "great injury news" was going to be about Michael Vick? :D

[quote=SmootSmack;963461]I think Garcon said yesterday [B]he expects he probably will have this pain for the rest of his career and doesn't want to have surgery because that potentially could be even worse.[/B] It's a shame all around[/quote]

After hearing that, I feel like he's another FA we can add to the bust list.

Re: great injury news
 

It's still too early to call Garcon a bust. Some injuries never fully heal. Just because he has to play with the pain for the remainder of his career doesn't mean he still can't produce. It simply means that he'll be playing with pain until he's done playing.

Re: great injury news
 

PG, if he busts, is not the typical FA bust of years past. AH, Jason Taylor, McNabb, etc big names that had no intention of making the Skins a better team. Nothing I have seen from PG sends the message he wasn't hoping to come in, and go full speed from day one. Does it add to the snakebit feeling yes, but I just don't put him in the Redskins bust mode of FA's yet, or probably ever.

[quote=NC_Skins;963475]From the looks of it, if AA clears waivers, we are going to pick him back up.

Last week we put out #Redskins tried to claim AA but JAX got him. They would have released Dez.. AA has been waived by jax, hits waivers [/B]


CHAMPIONSHIP!!!...lol[/quote]

I wouldn't mind that because of his speed and he can stretch the field...especially with PG's condition. He's never really had big numbers or been much of a difference maker though from what I remember. Than again he's never had Griffin throwing to him in the regular season either. Could be interesting. Worth a shot at this point.

Way to early to call him a bust or even not a good signing. I agree he in no way fits in with the other guys you mentioned. But it does bring back that we can't win for losing feeling. Hate to see this happen to such a young guy with a promising career with a great QB ahead of him. Like Joe said...he will probably play with some pain until the end of his career. He certainly won't be the first. Just hope it at least becomes tolerable enough to still play at a high level.

[quote=53Fan;963493]He told reporters they'll find out about 12:55 Sunday. Said he felt 100% at practice.[/quote]You guys think Garcon needs more time to get in football shape, or he's been working out enough?

Re: great injury news
 

can he pass the fitness test?

Re: great injury news
 

Garcon should go to Europe for the stem cell treatment Manning others have gone through.

Re: great injury news
 

At least AA caught the ball most of the time..... Tired of seeing the drops!

Re: great injury news
 

Sooooo, can we do something to minimize Garcon's (wasted) salary toward our cap?
