Title: Raiders - The severity of Garner's injury???
Post by StegRock on Nov 11^th, 2003, 5:48pm

Guys, I'm turning the tables here on this one and asking you all for the lowdown. I am well aware of the general reports coming out about the injury Charlie Garner sustained on Sunday, but I can't find anything specific... no juice! I've heard it's a back injury of some sort and that he will be undergoing some tests. Bottom line, he was taken out after just ONE carry. To me, that could spell severe. So, are there any locals/Raiders [smiley=skull.gif] Nationals with any up-to-the-minute info on this?

Raider Nation is everywhere, but this is all we have so far...

Note this quote:

"...Raiders coach Bill Callahan, who usually doesn't update the media on his players' injuries during the week"

Seems like the new cool thing, hiding info from fantasy owners. Thanks, Shanny

So, fellas, any "more" news on this? This one is even stumping me, I must humbly admit. There just isn't much in print about it. Does anybody know what's up? :P [smiley=whatever.gif]

I'm not "jumpin' from joy" (as per the smiley there above) because Charlie is (badly) injured, quite the contrary actually. I'm just pumped that I FINALLY got the lowdown on this... Hit up "the Gridiron Newsstand" and just kept going through the (relevant) sources. Finally, got to CBS Sportsline and BINGO. He has a back injury and has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful. Here's where you can go see it for yourself:

Look in the "Latest News" section!

Whew! :P
