49ers cornerback Chris Culliver suffers left knee injury
Posted by Mike Wilkening on August 1, 2013, 4:06 PM EDT
49ers cornerback Chris Culliver suffered a left knee injury Thursday and had to be taken off the field via cart, multiple media outlets reported.
According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the injury occurred during a punt drill.
Culliver was “in tears” after the injury, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The 24-year-old Culliver is entering his third NFL season. He appeared in all 16 regular-season games in 2012, notching 47 tackles, defending 14 passes and hauling in two interceptions.
The 49ers have had a hard-luck offseason with injuries, with the loss of wide receiver Michael Crabtree (Achilles) the biggest setback to date. Also, star inside linebacker Patrick Willis recently suffered a broken hand.

Brian Baluga has a torn ACL
We’re still several days away from the first full weekend of preseason action, and yet another player is done for the duration.
Per a league source, Packers left tackle Bryan Bulaga has indeed suffered a torn ACL in his knee.
The injury happened during Saturday night’s intra-squad scrimmage. Bulaga didn’t miss a rep, but he complained about a problem with the knee after the practice.
Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported that Bulaga has a knee injury, and that the team feared it could end his season.
A first-round pick in 2010, Bulaga was moved from right tackle to left tackle during the offseason as the Packers try to improve an offensive line that allowed 51 sacks of quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2012.

Falcons tackle Mike Johnson hurts leg, leaves facility in ambulance
Posted by Josh Alper on August 6, 2013, 4:23 PM EDT
The Falcons cut Tyson Clabo this spring and left the right tackle job open for a competition between Mike Johnson and Lamar Holmes.
Holmes is currently listed second on the depth chart, but he may be moving up to the top spot after Johnson was injured in Tuesday’s practice. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Johnson suffered an injury to his left leg during 9-on-7 run drills in the team’s joint practice with the Bengals. The injury was serious enough to force Johnson to be carted off the field and he later left the team’s practice facility in an ambulance.
We’ll be on the lookout for updates as to Johnson’s condition, but nothing about that description sounds good. If his absence is a long one, the Falcons may need to dip into their cap space for some help on the line because they’re awfully thin at tackle after Holmes and left tackle Sam Baker.
Johnson, a third-round pick in 2010, played all 16 games and started once for Atlanta last season.

I'm sure that you right, but starting a 4th round rookie at LT is likely to be a problem.

Where's dbair to complain about our horrible injury luck...
Eagles WR Arrelious Benn tears ACL
Wide receiver Arrelious Benn tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Benn is the third Eagles player to suffered a season-ending ACL injury this training camp. All three injuries -- wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and linebacker Jason Phillips went down first -- occurred on the same field at the Eagles practice facility.
------------
I want to say that he Eagles were expecting him to be a fairly significant contributor, but I'm not 100% on that. I definitely don't think he was just soem camp body.
Danario Alexander tears ACL, out for year
San Diego Chargers wide Receiver Danario Alexander suffered a torn right ACL during Tuesday’s practice.
Alexander caught 37 passes for 658 yards and seven touchdowns over the final nine games last year.
He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2014 after signing a $1.323 million tender in April.
-----------------
Hate to hear it because I picked this guy up in our DCU fantasy league late last year and he won me some games.

Saints lose Joe Morgan, Kenyon Coleman for season
Posted by Darin Gantt on August 7, 2013, 12:21 PM EDT
The Saints need to change their gris-gris or something.
According to Katherine Terrell of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, an already injury plagued team got more bad news Wednesday, as wide receiver Joe Morgan and defensive end Kenyon Coleman will be lost for the season.
Coleman has a pectoral tear, and Morgan has a torn meniscus and a partially torn ACL, and will undergo surgery today.
Coleman’s loss is tough for a front seven that wasn’t deep to begin with, as he was brought in to help stabilize things during the transition to coordinator Rob Ryan’s 3-4.
Morgan was working with the starters while Marques Colston was on PUP, and was being counted on as a third receiver this year.

I did too, he was huge down the stretch. San Diego is thin at WR.

Hopefully he misses the first two regular season games, then he can come back and go off on the rest of the league all he wants. Especially Philly, Wash and NYG
