Okay boys and girls there is DEFINITELY a "knee flu" going around the NFL this year! Eagles WR Arrelious Benn tore the ACL in his left knee during today's practice - and they released WR Dave Ball as well. Guess they really need Riley Cooper!
AND it just came out WR Danario Alexander tore his ACL today too!!! WR Jordy Nelson also underwent scheduled knee surgery today too.
I checked out the NFL Injury list: http://espn.go.com/nfl/injuries and was shocked at how much is up already - Rashard Mendenhall has knee tendenitis, Ryan Williams has knee irritation, Dan Williams strained a ligament in his knee, Kevin Kolb has an injured knee, the list goes on and on.
And, not that I'm part of the NFL in any way, shape, or form (sigh...how lovely it'd be to part of the Vikings organization!), but I'm stuck on my bed with a twisted knee and I'm ridiculously pissed. Grazed the heck out of it too, and getting the seven-hour-old grazes scrubbed with an iodine sponge was one of the more painful experiences in my life. If it's not better by Sunday I'll go for a follow-up but it is feeling better, even just a day later, so that's something to be grateful about.
Vikings' injury report is stacking up - Jared Allen rolled his ankle, Harrison Smith twisted HIS knee (although he apparently jogged off the field to the doctor), Erin Henderson has a sore groin, Xavier Rhodes pulled his hamstring, Bishop and Ballard hurt their groins too, and Jefferson did his ankle too. Hopefully we'll still have a good showing this Friday vs Houston.
SKOL!
