Week 1 Injury report / Pierre Garcon is OK

[PennSkinsFan]

Garcon stated in post-game comments that he should be good to go next week. Excellent. Meanwhile, Shanahan said Bernstein's knee injury appears to be pretty serious.

That looked bad! time to scout the waiver wire and free agency monday!

Glad Garcon is okay That would be a huge loss. He and Griffin seem to be bonded.

Safety is going to be a problem all year, just has that feel.

Thank Jeebus Garcon will be healthy. HUGE blow to the offense to lose him going forward. With Garcon, Robinson and Griffin this team now has some speedy playmakers on offense for the first time since who knows when.

Tough break for Bernstine. Kid beat the odds by making the team and then something like that happens. Getting a little thin in the secondary.

yeah . . . love it . . . Robinson looked great filling in for Garcon and had to have earned at least an increased role even with Garcon back . . .

Glad Garcon is fine, and feel bad for the kid Bernstine if he is lost for the year. If Mayweather is out 4 weeks instead of 2, that is a major problem. It seemed like the team had too many guys in the secondary in camp to at least have decent depth, but now there is no depth whatsoever. And it's only week #1.

what exactly happened to garcon? tv said hamstring and ankle,which was it?

[ISF]

All the reports I heard was that it was his foot. After the long TD, they thought it might have been broke. Just bruised.

everything i have been hearing if foot as well and that he should be ready to go this week . . .

It looks like Bernstine will be out for the season with an ACL in the knee and Sundberg has a cast up to his shoulder, likely out for awhile. It will be interesting to see if they IR him, awful hard to hold a roster spot for a longsnapper given how thin we are at safety now.

If I was Grossman, I would be nervous. If Banks keeps putting the ball on the ground, he should be nervous too.

the Bernstine injury really sucks as i thought he was playing pretty good for a rookie and showing some promise . . . hopefully the surgery and rehab goes well and he is back on track and ready to go for next year!!

Got to hold a spot for the long snapper,every team just about does.i suspect sundberg plays with a broken arm so no need to worry about him going to IR. I can't see the skins resigning cooley or hightower anytime soon though.

What I meant was that if Sundberg can't play for any amount of games, if they don't IR him, then he would have to be inactive and they would have to sign another LS. That would necessitate releasing another player to keep Sundberg on the roster. I don't think they will do that. Right now he has a cast up to his shoulder, so that would have to change for him to play. My gut is that he will go to IR and someone else will be signed.

[PennSkinsFan]

Shanahan did confirm that the Redskins will bring in another LS. They will be working out several tomorrow.

[Crazy Horse]

i know they have to put bernstine on IR no way he comes back from that injury anytime soon. i would not be shocked to see them cut another wr like briscoe.

[PennSkinsFan]

Bernstein injury must have been real bad. Shanahan said everything was hurt in the knee, ACL, MCL, and PCL.

Well, for comparison, Adrian Petersen walked off the field after he was hit by DeJon Gomes last year and tore his ACL. Bernstine was put in a cast, immobilized and wheeled off on a stretcher.

Well, there isn't a need to cut Briscoe, Bernstine will be moved to IR and that will open an equivalent roster spot for a new safety (or CB) to be signed.

i like chris cooley,but why would they resign him,especially with these injuries? i wonder,did ethan albright retire? if not,maybe he could come back as long snapper this year.

Albright retired, back issues.

Bernstine has been IR'd for the year and the Redskins have signed DB Jordan Pugh formerly of the Panthers.

[LarryBrownFan]

Maybe the Lions will take back that 7th rounder for Barnes?

Not like you could predict Jackson getting busted and with Bernstine and Meriweather getting injuried but it happens.
I thought Bernstine played well in the preseason. It stinks but god-speed on the recovery.
