Around The NFL: Pre-Week 1
T.O. Bills debut:
Superstar wide receiver Terrell Owens is set to make his Buffalo Bills debut on Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots. We'll be sure to keep tabs on how he does.
Chris Cooley put on IR:
Pro Bowl TE Chris Cooley will be out for the year with a broken ankle. It is unknown who will be his replacement, but it should be a serious blow to the Redskins depleted offense.
Jay Cutler to make Bears debut:
Jay Cutler is set to make his long awaited debut as the new franchise QB of the Bears. Cutler will face the Packers on Sunday Night Football and we'll keep updates on how he does.
Osi Umenyiora to miss second straight year:
The Giants DE has been put on the IR for the second straight year and this should be a huge blow to the Pro Bowl DE's career. The Giants will surely miss him, as they were eliminated from the playoffs last year without him.
Randy Moss placed on IR:
On of the best WR's of all time has been put on the IR today with a fractured elbow. This will hamper QB Tom Brady's return now as he losses his #1 receiver. We'll see if Wes Welker can handle the #1 WR role.
Brain Urlacher, Kris Jenkins, and Lofa Tatupa all out for 2009:
Although Urlacher and Jenkins were already on the IR, it was announced today that MLB Lofa Tatupu was also added to the list. This year looks to be a though year for defenses, as this is the 5th Pro Bowl defensive player to go down fo rthe year.
