Week 4 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Brooks is not expected to play this coming week as he continues to rehab his sore right shoulder (rotator cuff injury).
According to reports, Culpepper apparently told former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon, a CBS Analyst, that his knee is not 100% yet. Coach Saban commented "He still doesn't have total rehabilitation to get to where he was before. Nobody knows if he will get back to that point, but there's certainly the possibility that he will. It usually takes more than a year."
Green continues to recover from his serious concussion, but is not expected back in the lineup soon.
Jackson was inactive on Sunday due to his injured knee after being listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report.
Simms underwent an emergency spleenectomy (his spleen was damaged and had to be removed) after the game on Sunday. No timetable has been set for his return at this early stage in his recovery, but it is certain that he won't play again for a long stretch during 2006 - 6 weeks is the minimum recovery time for such a surgical procedure. WR Michael Clayton commented "He was in the huddle at times muffling over his words and taking deep breaths in between calling plays because he couldn't talk. He was definitely dazed a little bit." On Monday Coach Gruden visited Simms and reported to the media afterwards that Simms was in good spirits and stated "He's gonna be okay." Tampa's new starter is rookie Bruce Gradkowski. Stated Gruden "That's one of the reasons we gave him extensive playing time in the preseason. I thought he did some very good things. He'll get a lot of work this week and we'll see what happens. We have a great schedule ahead of ourselves, 13 games to go. This is going to be a tremendous challenge indeed. I believe he's a fine quarterback and he'll rise to the challenge."
Sorgi did not play on Sunday after being listed as probable with a right shoulder injury - Peyton Manning's backups don't see much time even when 100% healthy.
The East Valley Tribune's Darren Urban reported on Monday that Kurt Warners' hand is "hurting", but neither Warner nor coach Green have mentioned a hand injury. There was also a story in the East Valley Tribune on August 1st that called attention to Warners' history of hand and thumb problems - at this point, though, this report looks more like speculation/explanation for Warners' fumblitis than established fact.
Running Back
Shaun Alexander suffered a fractured bone in his left foot, and is out for at least 2 weeks. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along, but for now the word is that there is a small fracture in a non-weight bearing bone in his left foot. "You lose the MVP for a while, it's a hit," coach Holmgren said. "Let's face it, he's the MVP. We're not going to sugarcoat it."
Brown was sidelined on Sunday due to his ongoing struggles with turf toe. He was listed as questionable on Friday.

Portis played through discomfort in his shoulder (he was listed as probable to play on Friday), but he did appear to aggravate the injury during the game - Portis returned to action, though and looked like he was fine. He'll be evaluated by the training staff as the week goes along - keep an eye on his practice status during the week.

Wide Receiver

Burress fought through a sore back to start the game on Sunday, but ended up on the bench later in the game although reports indicated that his benching was not as a result of the back condition. "I just have to get healthy and get on the practice field," Burress said after the game. "My best just wasn't good enough. I am not going to make any excuses, I just have to come back and get back on the practice field."

He also switched to a new helmet this past week - "It's a different feel than what I'm used to. I've been playing with the same helmet my whole career. My thing is to find a way to stay on the field for four quarters and it worked. Because I took some shots and it did the job." he said after the game.
Stallworth was unable to play on Sunday due to his injured hamstring despite being listed as probable on Friday. Friday, coach Reid said Stallworth was expected to play. “Donte Stallworth had a spasm in his hamstring, something he had during the game (against the Giants),” Reid said. “He was grabbing it a little bit so I got him out of there before something serious were to happen. He should be fine for the game.” But after the long plane trip, Stallworth experienced tightness and was not able to go Sunday. "We tried to warm him up before the game and couldn't get him out there," Reid said. He'll have an MRI Monday.

Veteran Eric Johnson will have to carry the load at TE for a while. Johnson commented on his prospects after the game ""I've been proud of the attitude I've taken and hopefully I'll keep working at practice and things will pay off."
