[KI Skins Fan]

Jammal Brown out, knee surgery for Kory L., Willie Smith MRI on knee (last two per today's WaPo). Based on their injury histories (especially Brown's), I think it would be wise for the Skins management to assume that neither Brown nor Kory L. will be ready to start the season opener.

Predictably, Mike Shanahan is putting out meaningless platitudes (coach-speak) about his faith in the reserve OL's. I don't believe Mike for one second on this one. I expect the Skins to beat the bushes for a trade in order to get an experienced OL starter on the roster ASAP. They need a player now so he can learn the system and work with his new linemates as much as possible prior to the start of the season.
