Week 4 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Dilfer took several hard hits during the game on Sunday, and limped visibly at times during the game. However, he stayed in the mix despite the aches and pains.
Fiedler was knocked out of the game vs. Jacksonville due to a jammed right shoulder. He did not return to the game. Said Fiedler after the game "I kind of landed with my arm above my shoulder and I felt something go. I knew I wasn't going to be able to throw a football." An MRI is scheduled for Monday to further evaluate the injury. Coach Edwards indicated that results of the MRI won't be known until Tuesday, but that 3rd string QB Brooks Bollinger is expected to start the game vs. Baltimore this week.
Grossman missed the game on Sunday as expected due to his broken leg/ankle injury.
McNabb has an array of injuries that are affecting him - his deeply bruised chest, for one thing, and now it appears he may have a sports hernia to play through. We'll keep you updated on all the latest through the week. Right now the team is calling this latest injury an "abdominal strain" - more testing is expected to further evaluate McNabb this week. Coach Reid said on Monday, "We'll see how he does (Tuesday) and how he comes back in Wednesday. He should be fine for the game. We have to get the soreness out."
McNair "may" have a foot injury, according to the Tennessean on Monday. The Titans are typically close-mouthed about players and injuries.
Pennington strained his surgically repaired right shoulder during the game on Sunday, was pulled from action, but then returned to the game after backup Jay Fiedler also jammed his throwing arm. After the game, Pennington said the injury felt "similar" to the one that ended his season last year. An MRI is scheduled for Monday to further evaluate the injury. Coach Edwards indicated on Monday that the MRI results won't be available until Tuesday, and that 3rd string QB Brooks Bollinger is expected to start vs. Baltimore this week.
Roethlisberger was shaken up on a hard hit during the game vs. New England, slamming his left shoulder into the turf, but he was able to return to the game and threw the ball well despite the hit.
