I posted a new article updating Newmans status in the thread that is specific to him. Lets just say it doesnt look good. Anyways, here are some updates for the rest of the team.
Burnett has bone chips
LB Kevin Burnett said Saturday night that he didn't think his ankle injury was serious, but X-rays showed bone chips. He'll have an operation tomorrow, and the plan is for him to be ready to go against the Giants.
Other injury news:
OLB Greg Ellis, who has been day-to-day for a month, is visiting Dr. James Andrews in Alabama to get a second opinion. "We think he's pretty close [to playing]," Wade Phillips said. "We'd like to get a second opinion for both parties, so he'll be comfortable."
K Martin Gramatica has a slight pull in his right hamstring. Phillips wasn't sure whether Gramatica would kick against the Vikings.
LT Doug Free and WR Terry Glenn, both recovering from knee injuries, are both expected to practice Saturday.
Phillips said he thought Terence Newman will "be fine." By that, I assume Phillips meant Newman wouldn't miss any regular season action.
