Time to bring up Chase Ford from the PS.

Wonder if Rudolph will get the IR With Designation tag. That would be 8 weeks but if we're talking surgery who knows how long it takes him to fully recover.

Nice timing on that big contract extension.

I feel bad for Rudolph, but it's really getting to the point of cutting bait with the big guy. He can't stay healthy and he has not lived up to expectations or the big contract.

Too bad about Kyle. Talk about a short list of receivers for Teddy to have for his rookie season.

Could we sign Reisner? I think the Patriots released him. Teddy certainly had a good connection with him during the preseason!

Im sure Reisner or Ford (or both) will be playing next week.

@mattvensel -- Fun with injuries: Cassel "toe" injury became foot yesterday. Now Rudolph's groin injury is "core" and Fusco's "shoulder" is a "pec" injury.

Lions confirm: Stephen Tulloch tore ACL celebrating
Pro Football Talk "It’s bad enough he was compared to a Gramatica. Now Stephen Tulloch has the entire season to plan his next celebration. The Lions confirmed that Tulloch tore his ACL yesterday while celebrating a sack, and would be placed on injured reserve. As difficult a break as it was, Lions coach Jim..." September 22

Come on now, nothing to love about a season ending injury, regardless of how it happened.

Chad Greenway - LB - Vikings

Vikings WLB Chad Greenway is now dealing with a fractured rib in addition to a fractured hand.

Greenway has played solid run defense through three weeks, so it would be a blow to Minnesota's defense were he forced to miss time. The Vikings would presumably turn to sophomore Gerald Hodges at weak-side linebacker.

Hodges played very well yesterday, I thought. Too bad about Chad though.

Well you're just ready to get rid of the entire team, aren't you...

The hits just keep coming.
@Andrew_Krammer -- Center John Sullivan had his right wrist taped up but wouldn't comment on the apparent injury #Vikings

Lighten up dude, I was laughing on how stupid it was that Tulloch, who is a constant "show off" hurt himself. Feel free to ignore my posts if they offend you. :wink:

I thought it was hilarious. IT was funny when Gramatica did it, and funny when Tulluch did it. Idiots jump around like morons after a basic play and then get hurt. Just be happy you made the play and go back to the bench.
