SIX WEEKS FOR SATURDAY, OR LONGER

Posted by Mike Florio on August 27, 2008, 7:51 p.m.

Colts center Jeff Saturday is expected to miss the first six weeks of the season after partially tearing a knee ligament during Sunday night’s preseason game with the Bills.

 

Per the Indianapolis Star, Saturday will miss even more time if he decides to have surgery to repair the torn MCL.

 

His agent, Ralph Cindrich, told the Star that Saturday will miss six or seven weeks without surgery, and 11 with the procedure.

 

Rookie Steve Justice likely will replace Saturday, who’s entering the final year of his contract

Wasn't it last year or two years ago we faced these guys with two rookie OG and we still couldn't get any pressure up the middle. I'm not going to be optimistic this time around. Part of that is the fact Manning is so good at reading pressure and getting rid of the ball very quickly.

True enough...

 

But it's better than a 100% healthy line and Manning. We need every possible advantage we can get.
