Listen guys, Vet is a non issue. I'm not on here to impress anyone, I'm just here to help. If he doesn't want it, then fine.

Listen "Vet," if you don't want to read it then don't. But a lot of subscribers do read my reports. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Going back to when Alexander was seen wearing a cast on his hand in practice. I think a lot of us felt that the injury was more than what the team was making it out to be. The Seahawks have a history of downplaying the severity of injuries, so this isn't a big surprise. I'll start making my phone calls to see what is being said about the injury now.

ESPN just reported that Shaun Alexander has a fractured bone in his wrist, but he will continue to play with a protective brace. More to come in my report tomorrow.

You are right, this is pretty bad. I heard about this last week but I hadn't found a place to actually hear it until tonight. Song surprised me. Here is a link to an article talking about LJ and his claim that this wasn't his work: http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/276113.html

Hey gang. Stumbled upon this while doing some online research. Some of his lyrics will definitely raise a few eyebrows. He even has an opinion on Priest Holmes' attempted comeback (about the 1:40 mark) and he raps about his training camp holdout. His language and many references to weapons could get him in trouble with the NFL. This was news about a week ago, but if you haven't had a chance to hear it. Here you go. Enjoy. http://allhiphop.com/blogs/multimedia__mus...4/18589887.aspx Edited Addition: To clarify, LJ denies he did this and that someone used his name. Form your own opinion.

Nothing concrete on my end. Since he returned to the field I'm assuming the injury isn't a concern. But we'll have to wait and see what happens over the next few days.

According to local reports Frank Gore's knee and lower leg were examined on the sideline by the medical staff during the fourth quarter, but he was cleared to return to the field and he finished up the game. He was seen limping after the game, but the 49ers don't appear to be too concerned. Obviously he will be examined sometime tomorrow and we should know more about his status then. But don't freak out just yet guys. This does not appear to be a serious injury. I'll have a full update in my Week 3 Training Room report on Tuesday morning.

More specifically, the injury is being called a sprained PCL (posterior cruciate ligament). Very unusual injury, but it has happened before (Olandis Gary for the Broncos many moons ago). Let's just hope that the injury is just a minor sprain. We'll have to wait for the MRI results first.

The medical staff worked on Roethlisberger in the locker room and he's back out. He will start, but I'm going to try and find out what he is dealing with. Since they haven't reported anything the injury/problem is probably not going to affect his game. But if we find out what it is, at least we can have a better idea of what's happening in the future.

No no, not you FFGuru........Cre8tiff didn't appear to be happy with my posting of this topic, so I just replied to him. Your posting of him on the field is GOLD. Thats the kind of info we were all waiting for. Thanks for the updates and please keep them coming.

Not sure if that was necesary. This is definitely the kind of info people need prior to games. Healthy players typically don't head to the locker room with trainers on gameday. And if the reports are coming out that he "may be hurt" certainly our job to report it and clear it up.

I have no direct contacts to the game so I can't find out for sure, but nothing concrete has been reported. Could be that he needs to be stretched or receive treatment for an existing injury. Teams don't always report injuries and there is a chance that Big Ben is dealing with something minor that he needed taped/stretched prior to the start of the game.

He did leave the field and headed back to the locker room with a couple of trainers. Still no report on injury or even if he is injured. Hopefully this is nothing, but be ready in case it is something...............

Getting reports that Ben Roethlisberger left the field during warm-ups and was taken to the locker room by the medical staff. Injury currently unknown. Will keep you posted.
