DMN: BLOG: Terence Newman's status in question for season opener

[Chocolate Lab]

Unless he had some kind of setback, I can't see why he wouldn't be fine. He was begging the coaches to let him practice almost two weeks ago.

Like someone said above, injury reports have become part of NFL coaching strategy these days. Remember when Julius was coming back from the broken collarbone and he was listed as "out" or "doubtful" all week against the Ravens? He started the game and did fine.

If newman doesnt play it will be a tough game. pacman is not rady to cover the likes of Edwards or stallworth right now. Henry is healthy and always plays great healthy. But who covers winslow?


I'm worried and this lingering season injury by Newman is starting to become a regular with him.

I must be dreaming but didnt he get injured in the ravens game?

No, that was the game he came back. I actually went to that game expecting him not to play and was pleasantly surprised.

T-new will be listed as questionable for the brown's game.

i'll go ahead and say it... if Tnew does not play, we will lose this game. problem is that if we move henry inside to play winslow (which they have to do), that leave Pacman (his first regular season game in over a year) and Jenkins (his first game ever) to cover Edwards and Stallworth. That is not a good matchup for us at all. On another note, I am sick of the misinformation from VR, all week we have heard that Newman fully participated in practice and all of a sudden it's "we don't know" ....

Stick to the lottery.

Why tell the Browns any more than they need to know?

This is Derek Anderson starting for Cleveland, not Brady or P.Manning.

How could anyone who actually listened to Wade think negative about Tnews situation?

You mean the same Wade that listed Terry Glenn as "day to day" all last year with a career ending injury?

If Wade says he's "day to day", expect Newman back in November at the earliest.

Smells like a smokescreen to me.
