McAlister out for the season

The reported injury that CB McAlister suffered during the Miami game was Lis Fanc Foot puttig him out for the season. Samuel is expected to be moved up to starting CB and DeJuan Tribble to 2nd.

Ravens have signed CB Demario Minter to take the nickelback position.

Rookie get the award

Rookie CB DeJuan Tribble was award the AFC defensive player of the week. He finished with 4 tackles and 2 INTs against the Miami Dolphins after McAlister went out with an injury. This is a good sign for both Tribble and the Ravens. They lost McAlister for the season and expect Tribble to step up to be the new #2 CB, though it is unlikely he'll make an impact of that of McAlister they hope he will be a force to reckon with.

Lisfranc joint injuries are rare, complex and often misdiagnosed. Typical signs and symptoms include pain, swelling and the inability to bear weight. Clinically, these injuries vary from mild sprains to fracture-dislocations. On physical examination, swelling is found primarily over the midfoot region. Pain is elicited with palpation along the tarsometatarsal articulations, and force applied to this area may elicit medial or lateral pain

Injury-prone Ravens?

Willis McGahee and Bart Scott will miss this weeks game against the Browns with a sprained ankle and back-up TE Mike Peterson will miss 1-2 weeks with a broken wrist.

Heh, Mike Peterson was always injured for me after I drafted him.
If you keep winning, you'll probably end up getting a bye.
How has the Redskin's defense been working for you?

You mean Ravens?
