Rucker and Abraham

[Redneck Voodoo]

Is there any news on their injuries?

abraham got a concussion.

So basically our front 7 have been cursed since the end of last season. That #1 rush defense isn't going to exist this year.

crisper57, our rush defense is intact and, as you saw, last night, it's alive and well. Abraham will affect our pass rush if he misses time, but not our rush defense.

Week 1: Arizona Cardinals - #2 rush defense; #6 total defense.

I am thinking if Abraham sits out, someone else will get more reps, which means the will be worn down as the game goes on, which means our running D will eventually fracture. More of an indirect consequence at that paper-thin position. Attrition.

Rucker appears OK: Frostee Rucker, who left the game in the first quarter because of a calf injury, was standing at his locker following the game and didn’t appear to be in pain.

I thought I'd seen that too. Just didn't see him play after he was initially hurt. Glad to hear it though.

I'll take that considering all the talk about the Chargers offense.

Yeah. Hope that is consistent throughout the year. That Offense was unrelenting and our guys stood strong!

BA says Frostee is unlikely to play this week. Abraham will have to pass concussion tests to play.
