Funny how the QB that's playing better at the moment always seems to be the only one that's healthy....

JP's performance next week will determine the timetable

Re: Edwards has a sprained wrist

Man, I really hate quoting myself:

Dick Jauron is going to come out and say that Trent Edwards is not 100% and Losman will be the starter next week vs Cincinnati. He is going to try and avoid another QB controversy at all costs. If Losman plays well against the Bungholes then he will most likely play again, if not then Trent Edwards is healthy again and he will resume his position as starting QB. You watch!

I knew this would happen immediately after that TD pass.

I highly doubt Edwards will be back this week. Now what the hell are they going to do for a backup this week?

Not to burst your 'I told ya so' bubble.. but, if Losman starts this week, it will be because Edwards truly is injured and can't go.

Re: Edwards has a sprained wrist

Let's hope he can play against the Bungles - our young leader is 3 - 1 as a starter and we need to keep the momentum going!!

Re: Edwards has a sprained wrist

It looked like Wire was suited up yesterday.

Didn't they put him on IR?

Re: Edwards has a sprained wrist

I saw Wire fall on someone and I asked myself the same thing. I was surprised to see him.

It depends what type of sprain it is, looks like there are 3 types:

1) Mild (Grade I). There is tearing of some ligament fibres, but there is no loss of function.
2) Moderate (Grade II). There is partial rupture (severing) of a section of the ligament and a partial loss of function.
3) Severe (Grade III). There is complete rupture of the ligament or the ligament completely separates from its bony attachment. There is a total loss of function in severe Wrist Sprains.

Introduction
Wrist Sprain is a violent overstretching injury involving one or more of the ligaments in the wrist joint that can range in severity from the tearing of a few ligament fibres to complete rupture of the ligament.

About
The wrist ligaments join bones to other bones and provide stability and support to wrist joints. When a wrist ligament is overstretched, it can give way at its weakest point which can be where it attaches to a bone or within the ligament itself. Other tissues can be damaged at the same time, including blood vessels, tendons, muscles and bones. There are three types of Wrist Sprains, graded according to the severity of the injury:
