freakofthesouth Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 The injury to the medial collateral ligament will not require surgery. Jurevicius was hurt in a collision with Bucs fullback Mike Alstott during Tampa Bay's 12-9 overtime loss. Coach Jon Gruden said he will explore the prospect of signing a receiver. Andre Rison worked out for the Super Bowl champions last month, but Gruden would not say if he planned to contact him again. "We'll look at the availability of every player and well do what we feel is appropriate for our team. But I don't want to speculate on Andre," Gruden said. Jurevicius had four receptions for 31 yards against Carolina. He had four catches and scored two touchdowns in Tampa Bay's 17-0 season-opening victory over Philadelphia. Karl Williams replaced Jurevicius against the Panthers. The injury also could mean more playing time for Reggie Barlow. "It's unfortunate that Joe Jurevicius and Rickey Dudley, two guys who played a significant role in our offense, are no longer with us," Gruden said. "We've got to rally around the guys we have healthy." AP NEWS The Associated Press News Service He will not play vs. the Redskins...this is a big deal. It certainly seems as if teams on the Skins' schedule are struggling to keep their players healthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakofthesouth Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 eff the media- if we get a W against the Super Bowl champs, who cares what they say! JJ being out is just one less threat that we have to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Maybe they could pick up "Mr. Playmaker" WESTBROOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 JJ had two great catches against the Eagles, but he is not a receiver that strikes terror in defenses around the league. No big deal whether he played or not in IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 he's big and he's fast...but he is rarely open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I find it strange that he's making more noise with the Bucs than with the Giants. He's a decent third WR, but over-rated now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Eff the media. Nobody cries for the Redskins when we have injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Well, hate to see injuries happen. Either way, figure that Tampa game should be a heckuva game. Still have a couple of big guys out there for Brad to throw to and that defense, well, goes wthout saying. But then, as has been ppointed out many times before, S.S. Offense likes the cover 2. Hope it likes this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofthesouth Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 JJ is a threat. He had an AMAZING catch in week one. If he is not in, all the better for us. But I agree PCS, I wouldn't wish injury on any player, and I wish him a speedy recovery- after week 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampSkinsFan Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 JJ was no threat but its good that we probably wont see him. Champ will shut down Keyshawn and Smoot will shut down Keenan, Im still not sold on Rashad Bauman yet so its good we dont see JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
