Just to try and work this out... if this is a 4 week injury they should not put him on IR. He has to miss 4 games not 4 weeks going on IR. With the bye in the middle 4 games from now would be the Whiners on December 13th more than a month away. But obviously if it's greater than 4 weeks i guess pointless.
Bleh, just a suck of a season with the injury luck. All teams have these kind of seasons every so often. We've had two in recent memory. Couldn't have come on a worse season though. Cardinals and Chiefs are both beat up and beatable with our defense. Packers are going to be hard without the ability to put up points. Optimistically we could be 7-5 when meeting Whiners... maybe we can get everyone else back by then at least.
