Any news on his injury this morning? Good ol CBS informed me the following
Shaun Alexander, RB SEA
News: According to FOX Sports, Seattle RB Shaun Alexander is not close to returning. Two weeks ago Shaun Alexander said that as long as this past Monday's x-rays showed the crack in his foot had healed he would start Monday night. His head coach Mike Holmgren was even more optimistic, pretty sure that the pics would show that he was healthy and ready to roll. But according to sources, Monday's tests showed that Alexander's crack had not only not healed, it wasn't even healing the way the team had expected it to. Alexander's pictures showed that it was not healing that way and was only 70 percent healed at that time. In addition, Alexander sent the medical pictures down to a foot specialist in Dr. James Andrews office in Birmingham for a second look. After the look, however, both the specialist and the Seahawks told Alexander it will be all right if he begins running in a straight line this week. They had not, as of Sunday morning, cleared him to begin cutting on that foot. He is slated to take another x-ray either Monday or Tuesday to see if the foot had healed more and if he could return to practice. The team has no idea when exactly he'll be fully cleared to practice. It could be Monday or Tuesday, could be a week, could be two weeks, could be more. Whenever the pictures show the crack has completely healed, he'll be able to return.
Analysis: This is bad news for Alexander owners.(really?) Keep him reserved until he starts to practice and is given clearance to play.
Just wondering if anyone had any info on him this morning. What a freakin' bum. He was 'supposed' to come back last week, then pushed back supposedly til next week. Whats the deal?
