Out 2-4 weeks according to NFL.com.

The Bengals are dropping like flies right now.

Travelle Wharton officially has right knee injury and is not expected to return.

Maualuga being helped off the field by the trainers. Just a wretched start for the Bengals.

That sucks for them.

What's the word on Vick?

Quesadilla Joe · 08-10-2012, 07:30 PM

Quote:

In his post-game press conference, coach Andy Reid characterized Michael Vick's left thumb injury as a "contusion."
Reid insists his starting quarterback is "fine" and could grip a football by the end of the game. We already knew X-rays were negative; this is confirmation that Vick escaped serious damage to his tendons as well. He may be held out of practice or two as a precaution, but there shouldn't be any long-term effects

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart signed a five-year extension worth $36.5 million and a max of $42.5, including $22.5 million guaranteed.

Kuechly is playing pretty good right now. He has been on the field for two series and already has 4 tackles and a FF.

Agreed. Kuechly stripped the ball on Arian Foster's first carry.

Schaub looked sharp - Cam looked shaky. I'm not sure why they would take him out of the game so fast.

Anderson is in the game.

LB intercepted Schaub -

Seems Schaub & Foster have turned the ball over on consecutive possessions.

Edit: Foster has turned it over twice.

where's the game thread?

Not a bit surprised that Kuechly made plays tonight. Rare instincts. My early pick for defensive rookie of the yr.
