At least it's not serious.

damn this guy can't catch a break

eh, he's already caught two!

This is the bad karma we had talked about in the other thread laughing about Brian Dawkins' injury.

I sure hope Noble is ok, I can't believe I find myself with such concern for someone who was a Cowboy just two years ago

He should be fine. He might even play on monday. :D

if theres a chance that he can play monday I guess it cant be too serious. We'll definitly be rooting for the guy though. It is weird how we alreayd root for him so much, we've never even seen him play. I was at the game when he got injured. I knew it was bad when i saw bruce smith jump up and take start swinging his arms and cussing.

its been so long I dont really remember anything about him as a player, he isnt starting on the NFL 2k team though

you checked the cowboys right? he should be on taht team

I don't know why they did that since he's rated higher than haley, so I just switched them.

you still have wilkinson in madden 2004. And I usually signed steve martin i beleive out of free agency to start along with wilkinson. Both like an 82 and over 30, but better then waht they originially have.

Hey guys! I just wanted to describe the injury a little bit, just in case anyone is curious. The metacarpal, which Noble broke, is the long bones that run through the hand and are connected to the fingers. So the third metacarpal would be the long bone connected to the middle finger.

The swelling will effect his ability to practice for the next few days, so he will be sidelined, but after about 4-5 days the pain and swelling should subside for the most part and he should be able play fine with the aid of a hand brace.

And hey, don't worry! Noble has shown himself to be a remarkably fast healer so don't be surprised to see him back in training camp (hopefully keeping himself in one piece) very soon.

If this was the season I'm sure he would be ready to go by the next game. Not a huge concern here at all.

Breaking his hand sounds more serious that it actually is...

Everyone is going to be dinged up a little by the end of training camp... happens every year.

Give him one of those legendary Jacoby arm clubs to play with! Seriously though, he'd be playing on Sunday if it were Tampa.

yea give him one of those clubs, thats what every player needs really.
