Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox said WR Steve Smith (leg) suffered a broken left fibula during the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers Monday, Sept. 13. Fox refused to put a time table on how much action Smith would miss due to the injury

This is a major blow to Smith owners. It definitely increases the value of Mushin!!

So, what does 'indefinitely' mean. It that a month, 2 months, or 3 months.

Hey, I would imagine it also increases the depth of Keary Colbert if he can work his way into the lineup.

I wasn't able to nab him in the Insane Draft but, I certainly wanted to!
