Sounds like Jacques Reeves will continue to start, this time as Henry’s replacement. Henry has suffered a high ankle sprain, and its one of those nagging type injuries that could take time to fully heal. Henry had nagging injuries last year, but was able to play through them; however, his production was horrible. I warned about this a few posts ago. With Terence Newman back, and Henry on the opposite side, you will see QBs attacking at will against Henry again. Now with Henry being banged up, you can guarantee a few blown plays coming up. Here’s the latest from DC.com:
Phillips labeled Henry “real iffy” for next Monday night’s game at Buffalo because high ankle sprains, which involve ligaments above the ankle joint, typically require longer recovery time. Running back Julius Jones missed three games and parts of a fourth with a high ankle sprain in 2005.
The Cowboys will have an extra day to evaluate Henry because of the Monday night game.
“Now it’s not a severe one they say, but still normally if it’s a high ankle sprain it’s like four weeks,” Phillips said of Henry’s injury. “If it’s not severe, it may be two weeks, I don’t know. They’ve heard of people coming back from one that were slightly (sprained).”
This is bad timing, as we approach one of our truest tests of the season against the Patriots in two weeks. The defense is stepping it up, so we may be able to absorb this latest setback in the secondary. We will see.
Current NFC East Standings:
Cowboys 4-0
Redskins 2-1
Giants 2-2
Eagles 1-3
Browns Watch:
The Browns are surprising some people, including myself. Any aspirations of possibly drafting Darren McFadden are slipping away.The Browns beatup the Raves 27-13, so either the Browns are better than we thought, or the Ravens are just horrible. The Browns improved their season to 2-2, 3rd in the AFC North. The Browns face a huge test against the Patriots on Sunday Oct. 7th. Let’s hope for another loss.
