Locklear Ices the Cake

by: Chris Sullivan

In case any of you were disappointed that our injury situation hadn't quite reached the "holy crap that's almost funny" level, well, now it has: Sean Locklear has officially been placed on the injured reserve list. That means all five week one offensive line starters are on IR. It would be interesting to see if that has ever happened to an o-line before . . .

Our injured reserve is currently stacked with so many starters, we could practically field a team if any of them could play--here is what it looks like now:

PROJECTED STARTERS
T Sean Locklear
T Walter Jones
WR Nate Burleson
G Chris Gray
DE Patrick Kerney
WR Ben Obomanu
WR Logan Payne
LS Tyler Schmitt
G Rob Sims
C Chris Spencer
G Mike Wahle
WR Billy McMullen

BACKUPS
DB DeMichael Dizer
LB Wesly Mallard
T William Robinson

NOT ON IR BUT MIGHT AS WELL BE
QB Matthew Hasselbeck
LB Leroy Hill

Here is wishing all of our (and other teams') injured players full and speedy recoveries. Nothing fun about injuries . . . ~END~
