Busted thumb. Great. Schouman looks to be Q for the opener, Fine looks to be further behind.

What do we got to do to get a competent TE here? Here's to hoping that Royal can be a factor in more than one game this season.

Time to look at the waiver wire, otherwise it is Royal ,Massaqoui and anderson

Looks like the injury bug from last year is still attached to this team.

Re: Fine joins Schouman.

Are we supposed to consider this a loss or something?

The only reason he's not gonna be cut is because he's a 4th round pick.

that is an excellent point.. not that he would get cut, but that he has done zero to contribute to the team thus far in the preseason and it was highly unlikely that he was going to have any kind of significant role outside of special teams anyways.. schouman will be back soon enough.. and this injury may mean that anderson has made teh team.

Derek Fine was impressing at camp. I have feeling that he was going to be really good in special teams and push Royal by the end of the season.

I see, I wasn't aware about TC. Thanks.

I was following the pre-season games though, and I wasn't that impressed. However, if he can be a special teams asset, I take back what I said.

I thought that Fine would be game day active every week - a really useful player because of his versatility.

The team lost a lot of its core special teams players - guys that were good at only one thing. When healthy, Fine is a player that will be on the field for every special teams snap and for a lot of two-tight end sets.

On the other hand, a guy like Anderson is totally one-dimensional.

This probably puts Courtney Anderson on the 53-man roster.

Re: Fine joins Schouman.

Ugh.

Why the injuries at one or two positions again? They are all at TE and OL. (specifically OT).

At TE, I think Schouman was impressing the most. But regardless, the injuries they have don't sound long term...if there not there for the 1st game, yeah that'll suck...but from the sounds of it, they'll be back shortly after...
