 Cooley Out For The Year, Broken Tibia -- Tue Oct 27 8:30 am --
Fred Davis Moves Into Starting Lineup | Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has never missed a game in his six-year career. But that streak seems to be in severe danger after he broke his right tibia on the opening play of the second quarter. His leg appeared to buckle as he was running a route. He had to be taken to the locker room on a cart, and the team said later he broke his leg.
"We're quite certain it's broke or fractured in some way," coach Jim Zorn said. "He'll be out awhile. I don't know if it's going to be a season-ending injury yet." (Washington Times)
FF Today's Take: Interesting, as Cooley's injury was not a direct result of a hit but occurred as he was running a route. Fred Davis will take over for Cooley in the starting lineup and is worthy of a look. Davis had 10 targets, 8 catches, and 1 TD on Monday night.
