Bills McGee, Cards Boldin Might Play
Today was suppose to be a breakdown of the matchup between the Buffalo Bills DB’s and the Arizona Cardinals passing game, but breaking news came out about two players that will force this breakdown to be pushed back a day or two.
For starters, Cardinal’s WR Anquan Boldin has not been ruled out for the Week 5 matchup between the two teams. Boldin suffered a devasting hit in the final minute of the Cardinals, Jets game. He was taken off the field by a stretcher. Rotoworld.com is reports that Boldin has about a 50-50 chance to play though. Here is what they had to say:
Anquan Boldin (head) didn’t practice Wednesday, but the Cardinals aren’t ruling him out for Week 5 against the Bills. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says Boldin needs to be cleared medically before any determination on his playing status is made. Boldin says his only injury is a “fracture near his sinus.” His chances of facing Buffalo seem 50-50 at best.
So with seemingly good news coming out of Cards Camp, what did the Bills get? Well it wasn’t great news coming out of Bills camp, but hey at least their starting CB Terrence McGee was not ruled out. McGee was hurt in the win against the St. Louis Rams. Here is what the Canadian Press is reporting (it is the most recent story published on McGee):
Cornerback Terrence McGee, who wore a brace on his left knee and walked with a noticeable limp, was one of three Buffalo Bills defensive starters to miss practice Wednesday as the team prepared to play at Arizona this weekend.
Coach Dick Jauron wouldn’t rule McGee out, saying he will continue to have his sprained knee tested through the end of the week. McGee said the knee was still sore, but had improved since Monday, when he had difficulty walking.
“I haven’t given up hope yet,” McGee said. “I’m really not too sure. I’m just trying to see from day to day.”
Don’t be alarmed too much Bills fans. The other two defensive starters missing pratice today were DT Marcus Stroud (left shoulder) and DE Aaron Schobel (foot). They were both hurt in the last game, but both finished the game. Both are also expected back at pratice tomorrow.
If McGee can not go, Nickel corner Ashton Youboty and 1st round pick Leodis McKelvin would be the two guys getting the playing time. Both have played pretty well so far this season.
Needless to say the breakdown between these two teams will take place later in the week when the injury report comes out. My question to those of you out there is, “Who is more important to their team if they are unable to play and why?”. Please leave the answer is a comment or send the response to buffbillsfan517@yahoo.com. I will address the best/most interesting answers in the breakdown that comes later in the week.
