yo mama Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) Per KFAN 1130 sports radio (a Minneapolis station): Burleson is playing through a broken nose, broken finger and separated shoulder. Despite all this, he wasn’t listed on the initial injury report. Edited December 16, 2004 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I guess some people are less broken than others. Knew about the nose... didn't know about the finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If we was a Bronco he'd have been on the injury report with a hang nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Sounds like Mrs. Burleson kicked his arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsters Of The Midway Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If we was a Bronco he'd have been on the injury report with a hang nail. 614763[/snapback] And if he were a Titan he may be listed as the possible starting QB for this week.

DexterDew Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I was about to pick him up of the WW since he's playing indoors on a fast track, and I have a couple of WRs that are going to be in the elements....Thanks for the information. There is no way that a guy with a seperated shoulder should be playing WR in the NFL. The broker finger and nose are probably more annoying than dibilitating would this, somehow, make Robinson more attractive and possibly a starter? I'm curious because he is on the WW, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Burleson continues to return punts. So I'm not sure how badly the injuries are limiting him. Though, they scare me during these, our playoff games. They do not, however, seem to scare Paul Charchian. "Sidekick alert! With Bly covering Moss, that leaves the vastly inferior Fernando Bryant to cover Burleson. He scored last time these teams met, and although he's been quiet lately, this one smells like a good opportunity for Burleson to be a sneaky sleeper." Charchian wrote this (and other) Vikings-related fantasy blurbs on the team's official website, which can be read here: http://www.vikings.com/news_detail_OBJECTN...tasy121404.html He's also the publisher of Fanball.

Pope Flick Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If we was a Bronco he'd have been on the injury report with a hang nail. 614763[/snapback] My favorite injury report EVER was when Shanahan had 30 players at least probable, except for Shannon Sharpe who was: Questionable: Larynx.

Gak Attack Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) I guess some people are less broken than others. Knew about the nose... didn't know about the finger. 614736[/snapback] Burleson actually broke his finger and nose during the game last weekend: Source I'm guessing this may increase the love Daunte shows to Robinson.

The article says the finger fracture was from practice last week. However, the article also says that Moore *might* do Burleson's punt return duties this week, which isn't a good sign for those who get points in the return game.

I noticed that the number of balls thrown to Burleson the last four weeks (since the return of Moss) have gone down... and there was no way I could start a WR that only has four balls thrown to him during the Playoffs. That's the problem with #2 and #3 WRs, sometimes they are forgotten. But if Burleson was out, Robinson would get some of Burleson's balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 After reading this, and Nate's lack of production recently, I benched him in my local and my BOTH leagues. Probably cost me a playoff loss in both leagues. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. I sure screwed this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
