Injuries:
QB Burford is still hurting from his quadriceps strain. He has not responded well to treatment. When he got hurt I was anxious to take a look at Edwards. Not so much anymore - I want Jack back. He is getting some snaps this week.
OT Lonie Smith has pelvis inflammation. Sometimes I just shake my head at what the trainer tells me ...
ILB Jerry McCullough has been the best player on the defense, but we are likely to miss him in this game. He has a cracked patella and is not close to 100%.
ILB Bryant Bruschi has a torn thumb tendon. Another guy that really shouldn't be in the lineup, even though he wants to play. He gets the shot because I'm not going to our 3rd stringer for this one.
OLB Travis Wilcox has a fractured elbow. Our linebackers were just devastates last game. Another guy that should sit - I'm really impressed that these guys want to play through serious injuries.
